    • In place of the reading comprehension sheet this week, students will find a writing prompt.  I have also attached a rubric to help guide students on fourth grade writing expectations.  This writing piece and the rubric are due on Friday, October 26th.  Please take the time to read through your son/daughters writing and encourage quality final drafts. Many students need to be reminded to use the flee map, revise and edit; adding those rich descriptive words, and correct spelling and grammar errors.


1.  Please read the following prompt and respond in a one page, paragraph form. Remember to construct interesting, and detailed sentences! You must use a circle and flee map.  The final copy, flee map and circle map will be due next Friday, October 26th.  Share with your parents!

If you could choose one food to never eat again, what would it be? Why?
