Writing

First, let's make sure our writing is clear. When someone reads a character description, they should be able to understand it even if they haven't met the person you are describing. The traits should give them information about what the person is like.

How well did you use your words? Did you explain the three traits? Do your sentences sound good together? Try reading your paragraph aloud. Sometimes you will catch things that you might miss if you just read it silently.

Now let's check for capital letters. Take a look at the first letter in each sentence. Do you see a capital letter? I hope so! You will also want to make sure proper nouns are capitalized. We have been working on nouns all week, so you will be able to find them!

Now let's take a look at the end of those sentences. Did you use your periods, exclamation points, and question marks correctly?

It's time for the final step: checking your spelling. You may need your dictionary for this step. If there is a word you really aren't sure how to spell, the dictionary is the place to go.
