The topic sentence tells what you are describing. A topic sentence grabs a reader’s attention. Topic Sentence I love to wake up to the sounds and smells of breakfast. The smell of bacon tickles my nose. I hear the pop of the toaster and the hiss of spattering butter. Soon I hear eggs cracking against a bowl. I am up before the eggs hit the pan. Which is a better topic sentence? Write an X next to the better sentence in each pair. 1. I like lemonade. Cold lemonade is perfect on a hot day. 2. My bedroom is nice. My bedroom is my favorite place to be. 3. My sister is the cutest baby ever. This is what my sister looks like. 4. We have Movie Night every week. We watch movies. X X X X OBJECTIVE • To understand the purpose of a topic sentence WARM-UP Review what a topic is (what the writing is about). Invite volunteers to share topics they wrote about for their personal narratives, letters, and how-to articles. GRAMMAR CONNECTION Point out how the topic sentence in the example text begins with the pronoun I and that the I is uppercase. TEACH Review that a description tells about a person, a place, a thing, or an event. Have volunteers talk about times they described their day, a pet they have, a game that they played, or a person they know. As students give descriptions, ask questions to prompt them to use words that appeal to the five senses. Guide students through the first paragraph. Tell students that the topic sentence of a description is the sentence that says what the description is about. SAY: A topic sentence that grabs a reader’s attention makes the reader want to read the whole description. Read aloud the example topic sentence. Ask students what the description will be about (breakfast). Then read aloud the rest of the description. When you have finished, write on the board the word breakfast. Help students point out the nouns in the description that go with breakfast (bacon, toaster, butter, eggs). Write the words on the board. Tell students that the topic sentence tells readers what to expect in a description. On the board, write My favorite meal is dinner. Ask students whether the topic sentence fits the words listed under breakfast. Guide students to understand that the topic sentence should give readers a clue to what the description will be about and that it should be related to the adjectives in the description. PRACTICE Read aloud the directions for the exercise on page 243. Guide students to complete the exercise as a class. Help students explain their answers. APPLY Have students write My Favorites at the top of a sheet of paper. Invite students to list their favorite foods, toys, books, movies, games, or activities. When they have finished, explain that any of these things could be a topic for a description. Ask students to choose one of their listed items and write an interesting topic sentence for a description about that item. ASSESS Note which students had difficulty identifying a good topic sentence. Provide those students with additional support.

Did you ever tell a friend about a new toy? Have you ever told your par nts about your day at school? If you did, you gave a description.

What words tell about sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste? sight pink, lights sound mooing, clucking smell piney taste sweet, tasty touch sticky What Is a Description? OBJECTIVE • To identify the elements and characteristics of a description WARM-UP Lead a class discussion about times that students have read in a book a description of a character or a fantasy world, seen a brochure for a theme park, or read in a nature magazine about an interesting animal. Have students tell what was being described and how the description added to what they were reading. GRAMMAR CONNECTION Review that adjectives such as big, cool, and tangy are sensory words. Explain that sensory words help readers use their senses to imagine what is being described and that they make descriptions clearer for readers. TEACH Explain that descriptions can appear in every type of writing. SAY: Descriptions help us imagine what we read. Descriptions paint pictures in readers’ minds about people, places, things, and events. Have students turn back to the description on page 241. Review the topic of the description (the pond next to the writer’s house). Ask students to name some of the things being described (rocks, water, huckleberries). Then have students name the adjectives that describe those things (big, cool, tangy). Guide students through the first paragraph. Tell students that when they write descriptions, they are telling about a person, a place, a thing, or an event.

Talk with students about the kinds of writing t ey have done so far (personal narratives, friendly letters, how-to articles). Invite volunteers to tell things they learned from writing those pieces. SAY: When you write, you have to t ink about what you want to say. When you do that, sometimes you learn new things about your topic or about yourself. That is what exploration means: discovering new things. Explain that when they write personal narratives, they might discover things that they forgot. Tell students that friendly letters can help them discover important messages they want to share with others. Point out that how-to articles can help them discover talents and skills they may not even know they have. SAY: You also discover how to write by writing often. When you edit and proofread, you learn from your mistakes. Every time you write something new, you become a better writer. Direct students’ attention to the picture. Invite volunteers to tell about the scene. Explain that this pond is next to someone’s house. Then point out the model. SAY: This is a description. The writer likes the pretty pond outside her house. She wrote a description to tell others about the pond. Point out that as students talked about the picture, they were describing the scene.

LiNK Use the following titles to offer your students examples of well-crafted descriptions: Abuela by Arthur Dorros Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles CONNECT WITH GRAMMAR Throughout the Writer’s Workshop, look for opportunities to integrate an understanding of the use of pronouns and adjectives when writing descriptions. • Ask students to edit their writing so that the pronoun I is always uppercase. • Encourage students to use adjectives to describe nouns and adverbs to describe verbs in their writing. • Discuss how using the right adjectives make writing descriptions more interesting and precise. INDEPENDENT WRITING CENTER ACTIVITIES Writing Center Activities give students hands-on experience exploring grammar and writing concepts. Students can work independently or in small groups to practice integrating grammar and writing skills using various learning modalities.

An effective description is like a photograph—an image that seems almost real. Whether it is part of a longer piece of writing or complete in itself, its focus on the topic is sharp and distinct, so the reader always knows exactly what is being described. Its content is illustrative, developing and printing a picture in the reader’s mind. An effective description captures the reader’s attention with an informative beginning, keeps the reader engaged in a middle with logical connections, and crafts a summarizing ending that leaves a lingering impression. Rich sensory details make the piece both satisfying and informative. The language is always appropriate to the audience. A good description includes the following: ■ A beginning that names the topic ■A middle that describes a person, a place, a thing, or an event ■ Vivid adjectives and sensory words ■Correct grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation i_4290_TE_G2_Pt2_C4.indd ~ pg 1 ~ LoyolaPress. 4/26/16 1:54 PM PDF Signoff: Production _______ Design _______ Editorial _______
