For the month of January the students worked hard on the Conventions Trait in the 6+1 Traits of Writing. Today we talked about what our world would be like without periods. Here is what they thought about what would happen if our stories had no periods:
Lushula – You would be tired. You would loose your breath.
Keisha – We will keep on going and going and going.
Drew – We would never catch our breath because you’d never stop reading. It would be hard.
Skylar – You wouldn’t breathe.
Gillian – I wouldn’t want to read again because it would be hard.
Braydan – We wouldn’t be able to breathe.
Evan – I wouldn’t like stories because you wouldn’t have breath anymore and you will be tired.
Cameron – It would not be so great because you would not be able to catch your breath.
Jaden – I think if periods didn’t exist our reading would sound like this – There was a boy named Tim he was shoveling he found a gem.
Hunter – We will run out of breath.
Megan – I would be very out of breath.
Mia – We will read the book without stopping.
