Character Analysis-Painted Essays

Students in our class are working hard typing essays that explore how main characters grow and change throughout a story.  Your child is learning how to find evidence to support an idea, and how to cite that evidence by quoting and paraphrasing textual evidence.  At the same time, we are learning important keyboarding skills.  We will continue to work on typing, editing, and revising our Painted Essays over the next few weeks.  Here is a link to the Vermont Writing Collaborative for more information on the Painted Essay:  http://vermontwritingcollaborative.org/Essay.html
