Pair Share Sometimes one event can cause things to change in the future. Describe to a partner an event from your past that had a big effect on you. Use adverbs to add details. Trade roles.
Yesterday, my aunt came from Canada to live with us. Now I don’t have my own room anymore. I had to move in with my noisy little sister. I’m glad my aunt’s here, but I really miss my privacy!
Study the Models When you write about events, you want to keep your readers’ interest. One way to do that is to give your readers interesting, descriptive details about when, where, and how the events happen. You may also want to compare details about the events.
Add Sentences Think of two sentences to add to the OK model above. Make the sentences tell about when, where, or how the event ended.
Write on your Own Write about an event from the selection that was especially interesting to you. Use adverbs to add details about when, where, and how the event happened.
• Many adverbs end in -ly.
• Add -er to an adverb that has one syllable, or use more with an adverb that has three or more syllables to compare two actions.
