The format and elements of a five paragraph essay were reviewed. Together, we completed a Venn Diagram and an introductory paragraph for a five paragraph essay comparing and contrasting cats and dogs. For homework, Zeta will choose two things to compare and contrast and then complete a Venn Diagram. As the week progresses, Zeta will write a five paragraph, compare and contrast essay. She continues to practice and progress in keyboarding. We discussed using more descriptive adjectives to make writing more interesting. Given sentences, Zeta was tasked with writing descriptive essays to complete the sentences. Drawing conclusions and making inferences were the focus when reading 'Al Capone Shines My Shoes'. Zeta asked to work on 'Reading Eggspress' where she practiced identifying the main idea and the cause and effect.
