Lesson 13: Writing About a Friend

Writing about a friend is easier when you use a simple plan: name, describe, and tell why.

Use a name with a capital letter

• Names start with a capital letter.
• Example: Sam, Mia, Liam.
• Keep the rest of the letters lowercase.

Add one describing word

• Describing words tell what your friend is like: kind, funny, helpful.
• Pick one word that fits best.
• Keep it simple and clear.

Say what you do together

• Add one activity: play, read, draw, run.
• This makes your sentence more specific.

Finish with a reason

• Tell why your friend is special.
• Use a simple reason: She shares. He helps me.
• End with a period.

Ask yourself: "Did I use a name with a capital letter? Did I add a describing word? Did I end with a period?"
