We read a few picture books in class and hunted for examples of memorable language - figurative language, similes, metaphors, sensory detail, imagery, etc. Then as a group we presented our findings to the class on the smart board.
Our writing topic is to write a paragraph about our favorite place, favorite season, or favorite holiday - a topic that is easy to write about using memorable language, rather than a trip to the science museum or an essay on George Washington (although you could integrate memorable language into those essays as well).
Remember the layers of a paragraph that we talked about in class, and if you need help visualizing, picture the hamburger paragraph template that I showed you. The top bun is the topic sentence/lead and the inside parts of the hamburger are the support, and the bottom bun is the concluding sentence.
