Writing with Meghan-20 (1 hour) By Ethan

Part 1 Quick writing: observe something that Ethan chose by himself

1. There are a bunch of toys in a bag that is see-through.
2. The bag is open.
3. There are plushes and spinners in the bag.
4. You can take things very quickly and easily out of the bag.
5. You can dump things out of the bag.
6. The toys are all shapes, sizes and colors and textures.

Part 2 Vocabulary: write a story starts with “Thumb fell quickly” and including all 5 vocabulary of following
1. Nepotism – Favoring family in jobs
2. Scourge – administering severe criticism
3. Initiative – an introductory action or step
4. Beseeching – to ask earnestly
5. Concocted – make it up

The thumb quickly fell of the hand and landed on the floor. Lay there, scouring, and then tried to reattach himself to the hand. But, he could not do it. Then, as he was half way up the arm, the pinky (who happened to be the thumb’s friend) suddenly called,” Hey, wanna come over?” But at the very same second, his mom, the index finger shouted out, “Dinner!” He was very nepotism, so he said, “Maybe later.” And slithered up to his resting place. As they ate dinner, his mom inquired “It’s late, why didn’t you come to dinner earlier?”  He really wanted to concoct a lie but he knew better. He mumbled “I fell off again!” Then he asked in a very beseeching and pleading voice, “Can I take lessons from a professional rock climber on how to not fall off so much?” When his mom heard this, she lit up, “That’s great son! What a wonderful initiative!” The thumb smiled, for he knew that he would never fall off again.

Part 3 Writing emails: write an email to your teacher asking if you can set up a time to meet with her to discuss your grades.

Mrs. Long,
I wanted to set up a meeting time to talk about my grades, when would be a good time?
Best regards,
Ethan
