Tell students to define the order they will use to narrate the events in their letters by filling in the graphic organizer. Ask pairs to share their answers by reading them aloud. 3. Add details to your events. Draw students’ attention to the graphic organizer and explain to them that in the square on the top they should write where they went on the school trip they chose to share. Then, in the squares in the middle, they will copy the sentences they wrote in the previous activity. Finally, in the squares on the bottom they should add details for each event, including information about facts and the emotions they cause. Before they start working, you may read them the possible answers included in this Guide so they may have an example for what they must do. Monitor while pairs work to provide any help they may need. Differentiated Instruction Activities 1-3: Use the Think-Pair-Share Strategy trying to form pairs in which one of them may guide the other to perform the tasks. Don’t forget to highlight the contribution of both students when you check their work.
