We worked on organizing our thoughts and specifically addressed the purpose, value and strategy of using transitional phrases to show the relationships between sentences and paragraphs and to make the transitions, when writing, smooth and relevant. Quinn selected one of three prompts about which to write and chose one that allowed him to write about the job he would consider the coolest. He was shown options and asked which he thought was most effective choice to communicate the next thought or idea. He then was tasked with developing a transitional phrase that would improve the efficacy of his writing and relate the transition between his thoughts smoothly. When writing, Quinn requested some assistance to spell words. We were able to review homonyms, as he was challenged with certain spelling (i.e., their/there/they're). The exercise also allowed us to refine and edit our writing while developing and fleshing out our composition, and Quinn was careful to make a concerted effort to write legibly. We made a copy and added it to his binder. Quinn was pleased with his effort and Ms. Judie afforded him well-deserved praise after reading his composition. Quinn was afforded a 5-minute break and then requested that we read another chapter in the novel. We read chapter 24 and Quinn answered correctly when queried about the characters and relationships.
