= Prompt =

You're a geologist studying three of Earth's different landforms. (Choose Three: Volcanoes, Mountains, Valleys, Canyons, Caverns, and Islands). On your journey you learn about three different features of each of the places. How are these places the same? How are they different? What makes each place unique? Be Sure To: Complete the graphic organiser attached to the back of this paper to begin mapping out your ideas (W.3.4/W.3.5)
 * Introduce narrators and characters (W.3.3.A)
 * Use dialogue (W.3.3.B)
 * Use descriptions of actions, thoughts and feelings (W.3.3.B)
 * Provide a conclusion (W.3.3.D)

If you can't remember things about these places go reread the books we have read or check the internet!! (W.3.2.8)

= Standards =

[|CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.3] Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.

[|CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.3.A] Establish a situation and introduce a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally. [|CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.3.B] Use dialogue and descriptions of actions, thoughts, and feelings to develop experiences and events or show the response of characters to situations. [|CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.3.D] Provide a sense of closure. = Reflection = I really enjoyed being able to narrate the story and put voice and pictures to it. Since I will teach Kindergarten this would more likely be a class project that we all get to do together. Maybe have each child illustrate a picture and then they can put their voice to their own picture. Especially with this generation of children technology is a big must in the classroom because it's what they know. It was nice to be able to use this so I can add it to my Teacher Toolbox and bring it out in a couple years in my own classroom.
