Students create a character vignette with a focus on writing pieces that are brief, descriptive, and set in one point in time. They should not be concerned with plot. As the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, students need to show a controlled and elegant skill in writing, and to use figurative language to 'show' rather than 'tell'.
Students match descriptions of how many corners and sides 2-dimensional shapes have with their corresponding pictures and then describe one shape this way.
