|Four Square Writing Homework |

| |

|If I Were the President……. |

| |

| |

|We are continuing to work on brainstorming in class. We have already filled out the Brainstorming page, topic sentence, and the wrap-up in class |

|together. Each detail sentence should have at least one adjective. Ask your child to circle the adjectives with a red pen or crayon. This way, they |

|will be sure to use at least one adjective in each sentence. (Adjectives are describing words. They describe people, places, and things.) A hard |

|worker always gives their best effort in everything they do. |

| |

| |

|Monday: |

| |

|Ask your child to read the Topic sentence to you. |

|Now ask your child to read the Detail bubbles to you. These are the details your child used to talk about being president. Look at the first detail |

|and have your child come up with a sentence for the word/words. Have your child write this in box #2. Check to make sure your child has written the |

|sentence correctly. Don’t forget to circle the adjectives! |

| |

|Tuesday: |

| |

|Look at the second detail and have your child come up with a sentence for the word/words. Have your child write this in box #3. Check to make sure |

|your child has written the sentence correctly. Don’t forget to circle the adjectives! |

| |

| |

|Wednesday: |

| |

|Look at the third detail and have your child come up with a sentence for the word/words. Have your child write this in box #4. Check to make sure |

|your child has written the sentence correctly. Don’t forget to circle the adjectives! We have already written the wrap up sentence together in class. |

|Ask your child to read the wrap-up sentence to you. The students are learning that the last sentence in the paragraph is called the wrap up sentence |

|because it kind of wraps up (like a gift) all of the ideas (details) that were discussed. |

| |

| |

| |

|Thursday: |

| |

|Have your child copy all of the sentences onto the lined paper. This is the final copy, so they don’t need to circle the adjectives. ( |
