Character Writing

Purpose: Another 'quick-write' session (see below when we wrote about the road we live on).  This time as our whole class is looking at how to write about characters, we wrote about someone in our family that we wanted to share.
We had to write in a way that helps the reader get an idea of what that person is like.
