Today we “read like writers”!  We looked at an example of a snapshot moment and investigated strategies that the writer used to create voice, slow time down, and include sensory details.  Hopefully we can include some of these strategies in our own writing.

Great job today on our first quick write, grade eight!  Remember, if you do not have a hard cover writers notebook, please try to pick one up over the weekend.

8S and 8M: Finish your "Who Am I?" sheets over the weekend if you have not already done so.
