Grandma McGarvey Character Descriptions

Last week Room 16's writing focus was Character Descriptions. We read books about Grandma McGarvey, then brainstormed ideas about what she looks like and what sort of person she is. After that we talked about the structure of a character description and what should be included in each paragraph. We also talked about making our sentences interesting by starting them in different ways, by making some of them longer with connecting words and by using some WOW words! Then we wrote a character description together with Room 17 about Mrs Nelson. Here it is:

Then we had some quiet writing time for everyone to work on their character descriptions. Here is the first completed and published one. More on their way soon...!
