Hi, Kids!
What a wonderful time of year. School has started, the weather isn't as
hot as it's been, and we're starting the Race Around Florida together. This
web site is for you! I'll be posting a blog for you to read. I'll share tips
to help you become better writers. I'll post pictures and information so you
can learn about our magical and spectacular state of Florida. We have a rich,
colorful history in this state. We have amazing animals and exotic plants.
Florida is an incredible place to live. You are learning to become great writers. Having the ability to write well is a life skill! Good communication skills open a lot of doors of
opportunity. You've got a great future ahead. As you write this week, try to imagine you are a video photographer. As you take your "video pictures," your audience will be able to see and hear everything you point your camera at. Your special video "camera" will also
enable them to smell and tastes things, too. That's the kind of writing that
drives readers wild! Use every kind of description you can think of. Chose words
that help readers picture just what you want to say. Be very specific. Here's
an example:
Instead of writing, "When I stubbed my toe on the sharp rock it hurt
really bad."
Try writing, "When I stubbed my toe on the sharp rock the pain was so
bad I went ballistic. I ran around in circles screaming at the top of my lungs."
See how easy that is?
Have a great week writing. Enjoy the clues for the Race Around Florida.
Have you made your paper bag suitcase yet?
