This week we finished up our study of figurative language. We spend the first weeks of school on this topic because fourth grade writers are expected to use figurative language in all genres of writing this year. This week we worked on hyperbole, alliteration, and onomatopoeia. Writers have tried out writing examples of each, as well as looking for examples in literature.
Our writing convention this week was end punctuation. We studied how writers use different end punctuation to tell the reader how to read their sentences. We also discussed why writers use end punctuation. We will continue this skill next week.
