Mini-lesson — Special days: tell it in order
A special day can be big or small. What matters is how you tell it:
beginning, middle, end.
Pick the day
- Birthday, holiday, trip, game, party, or family time.
- Choose one day and stick to it.
Use order words
- First (how it started)
- Then / Next (what happened)
- Finally (how it ended)
Add one strong detail
- One clear detail beats lots of tiny details.
- Tell what you saw, heard, or tasted.
End with a feeling
- How did you feel at the end?
- Happy, proud, tired, excited, or thankful.
Ask yourself:
"Did I tell it in order? Did I add one clear detail? Did I end with a feeling?"
