This task assesses students' ability to provide examples of different parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb) in the context of writing two four-word alliteration poems.
Students show their understanding of directions by identifying which child will be chosen in a circular game for which clockwise instructions are given.
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'.
