Here is a video on today's lesson: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ANKr-eLh8_DLMPZBNWgRUHHnOOiTF7cX/view?usp=sharing

Today in writing we are going to begin drafting our first chapter by writing our facts with details. Yesterday you watched a video on the ways you can add details. Today you will try to do this for your first chapter.

When nonfiction writers make their chapters, they do more than just include facts. They talk long about their topic by providing examples, giving definitions, making comparisons, using adjectives, and using adverbs.

This lesson will be continued Monday. So start your first chapter, but do not worry about finishing it, you will finish this chapter Monday.

You can use the suggested paper or any paper you have at home. Here are some paper choices that may be helpful to you:
