A Fun Lesson:
We think this would be a rich and rewarding experience for your students to have the opportunity to be a part of our mascot naming process. This project directly aligns with the 4th Grade Idaho ELA Content Standard listed below:
Grade 4 – Writing Standard 3: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.
a) Orient the reader by establishing a situation and introducing a narrator and/or characters; organize an event sequence that unfolds naturally.
b) Use dialogue and description to develop experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations.
c) Use a variety of transitional words and phrases to manage the sequence of events.
d) Use concrete words and phrases and sensory details to convey experiences and events precisely.
e) Provide a conclusion that follows from the narrated experiences or events.
Even More Fun:
