Use the online paper provided by Brain Pop Jr. on the 'write about it' button to write your story. BE SURE TO READ IT CAREFULLY and EDIT/FIX any mistakes that you notice. Once you print your work, let me check it, then you can add your comments to the blog.

In the winter I hear the rain fall! I love it. I can taste cookies! They are delicious! I can see a fire in my fire place! It is hot! I can smell fires. It is nice. That is what I can hear, smell, taste and see in winter!

I noticed that you wrote a sentence that told how you felt about each of your prompt directions. I wonder if you could end your story with an overall sentence that would close your work without telling me that "That is what I"?

Carson,
You gave me some good, strong details about each of the things you would notice. I wonder if there is something you could add that would close your story out? Hopefully, it is not you getting frostbite! :)

On my winter walk I would go with my dad.I would smell the smoke from the houses.I would see the light from the houses still. It will look pretty. I will hear the birds chirping and I would taste the yummy snow. I like it! Then i would go home and sit by the fireplace and have hot cocoa. When I warm up, I will play a game called Bobit. It would be fun!

Josh,
You have some nice images here. You are on your way! Try to make sure to use a closing statement to wrap up your story. Your reader needs to know your story ended not that you just stopped writing. :)

I hope your dad does not work too hard! Maybe you could give him a hand? Hopefully, you do not catch a cold.You took quite a jump from "I hear bad coughs" to "I love winter". Maybe you want to put a little more in between? Just to not end your entry so abruptly...

Chris,
You have some really good images here. Your hands feeling like ice cubes is one of them. I wish you had a closing sentence to let the reader know you ended your story rather than just stop typing when you finished your last required piece... try to close out and let your reader down easily that you are done. :)

In winter I see white snow. It is everywhere. I sometimes hear birds chirping but not a lot. Most of them migrate south. I smell the crisp, clean air. I think that the snow covers up the smell. I feel frostbite. It must be really cold! Winter is one of the best seasons!

When I'm outdoors in winter. I don't smell anything because the flowers are dead! I taste snow and hot chocolate! Sometimes I see deer in my backyard. I feel cold when I am outdoors in winter. I sometimes feel snow flakes land gently on my body. I don't like the cold wet feeling.
