Getting more detailed - outlining some important moments

Today's Goal: 
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6.3.D
Use precise words and phrases, relevant descriptive details, and sensory language to convey experiences and events.
The Plan:

1. Read
2. Finish "This I Believe Part ONE" in Google Classroom

This I Believe Part One

Step 3:

1. Go back through each answer from above. Identify words that

denote (indicate) emotions surrounding these events and the values that are associated with each event and highlight them (I was fearful, I was so happy, etc. - how you felt).  Or add words at the end of your answer in GREEN that describe my emotions.

2. For each question, identify at least one value that played a role in this event.  Put that value at the end of your response in a bold color (one color for all).

Then, take another look at your answers and highlight three that you would be comfortable discussing with others.

Step 4:

After you choose the three you feel comfortable elaborating on, create three BRIEF outlines, one for each of the three ideas that you highlighted above.  (There is an example on your document at the bottom.) You will notice that these questions are similar to the ones you had to answer about Dylan's story, "The Bird who Broke Through the Window"

Outline of Each Event:

1. Brief description of event

2. What lesson and/or value did I learn?

3. How did it make me feel about it then?

4. How have I used this lesson since, when I make decisions?

5. How do I feel about it now?
