Lots of delicious little poptarts....
The last pignoli.
In Carl Anderson's section we worked on writing structure and detail.
- Structure is like the underlying framework in a house. When the house is complete, you can't see the frame, but it holds it all together. Talked about how to nudge students to further develop their structure so readers get to the meaning or point of their piece.
-Details are the STD's of writing: Snapshots (action), Thoughtshots (thinking), and Dialogue (talking). In nonfiction the details are the facts.
In the afternoon session we worked in groups to create a nonfiction mini-lesson that align with the new units of study and the common core standards.
Schmoozin' it up close and personal with Dahlia, after another lap in the pool of writing inspiration. Think of it like eating a cupcake.
I got to have dinner with my little ray of East coast sunshine, S.
We slithered into the window table at this hopping
joint right before the Tuesday evening rush and enjoyed a platter of arepas.
Then S proceeding to twist my arm, (thanks to the availability of a coveted parking place), to top off the evening with some pignoli cookies from Venieros Pasticceria. Two new tasty treats tonight! Ahhh.... I so enjoy nutritional fortification in this burb.
