Let's think

In today's lesson, we are going to generate an ideas bank for everything we can see or imagine is happening in this picture.  We will save this into the class notebook in MS teams so you can look back at it.

To do

Using the ideas we have generated together, can you write a paragraph (4-8 sentences) to describe what is happening in the picture?  In MS teams, make sure you are logged in using your Barlow log in, then click on class notebook, click on the navigation button on the left hand side, choose your name then choose class notes and Mysterious House.  It will appear directly after the live lesson.  

For each sentence you write, underline a word or phrase that is particularly effective.  Before you hand it in on purple mash, check your work.

• capital letter for start of sentence
• correct punctuation including commas
• sentences starting different ways
• star sentences
