I just prepared this, for teaching my class to write a description of their
neighborhood. We are reading A Summer's Reading, and I used a descriptive
passage about his neighborhood as an example, first leaving out the
adjectives and then revealing them, to experience the impact. Then I asked
them to write an outline for their own description of their neighborhood.
They did not all understand what I wanted so I am bringing in attached
materials:
Hamburger Model - empty
Description of My Home Town (I couldn't find what I wanted to use as a
model, so I wrote it myself - no copyright issues ;-)
Hamburger filled out.
I am going to give them MY passage, ask them to work backwards and dissect
it into the hamburger model, then show MINE on the board, and then have
them fill out a hamburger for themselves, and write their compositions.
Hope that helps!
