## Writing

You are going to attend a wedding this weekend.

Today you went shopping for a new outfit. You want to know if it is okay to wear this to the wedding.
You will be writing your friend and explain what your outfit looks like. You will then ask if you can wear this outfit to the wedding.

- Write a message to your friend. Try to write at least 10 sentences.

Tip:

- Use colours, patterns et cetera to describe your outfit.

Checked | A woven pattern of squares
Striped | A pattern consisting of stripes
Dotted | A pattern consisting of dots

Activity 1: Pronoun Substitution

Materials: Various objects (balls, blocks, books, games), pictures of proper nouns (famous people, places, and things), sentence strips, writing instruments (pens, pencils, markers, crayons), and chart paper or notebook paper.

1. Place objects and pictures around the room where students can easily see them.

2. Number each object/picture and have a sentence strip for each object/picture that either describes or begins a story about the object/picture. For example, with a soccer ball you might write on the sentence strip, “Michael likes to kick the soccer ball.”

3. Have students rewrite the sentence using the appropriate pronouns. For example, “He likes to kick it.”

4. After all students have a chance to write several sentences/paragraphs using appropriate pronouns, allow some time for them to share and identify aloud the pronouns they have on their papers.
