Students learn about anchoring dialogue in writer's workshop

In writers’ workshop we reviewed internal monologue and introduced anchoring.  Anchoring is when you tell what the person is doing as he/she is thinking or talking.

Example:
He thought, “Why did I promise to clean out the garage on a game day?”

With anchoring:
As he stood at the door watching his family enjoy the big game on the big screen television, he thought to himself, “Why did I promise to clean out the garage on a game day?”

In science we did a lab and had to identify the parts of each.  We had a lab sheet to fill out.  We did a lot of math in today’s lesson.  Which proves that science is math is science…………..
