Set a timer for 10 minutes for third grade and 15 minutes for 4th and 5th grade. You need to be writing the entire time. When your timer is going, you can create your piece of writing, add to your piece of writing, and revise your piece of writing to make it better. This assignment needs to be hand written as using good penmanship with proper spacing is an important skill. If you can go longer than your timer, push yourself.
Task #1: Picture + Caption
Find any item and give it a caption. Older dolls or toy trucks? Parents’ tape collections? Then maneuver them in a goofy situation and write about them. (Think about placing dolls at the kitchen table.)
Ideas to get your mind thinking:
**Adding googly eyes to random objects like milk jugs and turning the object into a character. (I’ve also seen arms and legs made from construction paper.)
**Creating a society out of random objects like rocks or potatoes.
**Practicing dialogue between dolls or LEGO figures.
Task #2: Movie Review
Write a movie review over a movie you have watched recently. Your movie review should be honest and use some new words to help capture how you feel the movie is produced. These are generally short, but full of information about the characters, setting, and conflict within the movie.

Watch one of the videos and read the handout. Then create a google document that explains the difference. This needs to be at least 3 sentences long.
