Writing Fix: Who/what/when/where: Circus Theme

In this lesson, Dr. Seuss' book, If I Ran the Zoo, is used as the mentor text for its use of adverbial phrases. After reading the mentor text, young scholars will use click the buttons with the words "Who", "What", "When", and "Where" until they find enough words to form a sentence that they like. Then students will write a story based on the new sentence and place it anywhere in the story. As the young scholars write, students will alternate writing long and short sentences, and after publishing, young scholars will attempt to find the sentence generated by the buttons.
