We reviewed the important elements of descriptive writing and discussed that some ways to organize writing include: chronological (time), spatial (location), and order of importance. Austin shared his ideas for how he might grab the reader's interest using a "hook." He then worked on an activity sheet that tasked him with correcting errors with pronouns and another activity which tasked him with correcting spelling errors. Austin did well on the activity but requested assistance with one sentence he found challenging and for which I explained the way to approach understanding it better. Austin complained of a sore throat so I read several short chapters in the novel by Louis Sachar, which is about a fifth-grade bully named Bradley whose behavior improves after intervention from a school counselor. Austin has been enjoying the book and recalled several changes in the protagonist's behavior over the course of different events and situations. He correctly recalled terms (leitmotif - a dominant, recurring theme) and figurative language the author used - and was able to explain how it enriched the language and story elements. I explained a writing project I hope to work on with Austin once he finishes the book, and he seemed interested to work on it. We expect to be finished with the novel in the next 2-3 weeks as there are about 50 pages left.
