Creative Composers, Session 2 -- Center Valley -- Day 2, August 3rd

Today we talked about strengthening our writing. In our search to power up our writing, we explored sentence variation and word choice. For sensory words, we ventured outside to observe our surroundings. We explored onomatopoeia (words that look like the sounds they make) and discussed ways we could use those words. We discussed what it means for a writer to take risks.

We read a book about a very young boy who helps a very old woman find her memories. We considered how feelings are attached to memories and how these influence our writing. We journaled about our own memories -- and everyone loved those fortune cookie prompts!
