September 21, 2009** Summary Writing: Bea, Dave, Beth, and Cinnamon are all famiilary with the "burito" summary format for writing a summary

Narrative Writing:
 * Quick Sketch will be used for planning by all grades (esp. 4th and 5th)
 * 4th grade will not use dialogue in narratives
 * 5th grade will introduce the use of dialogue
 * Dialouge handouts in Step up to Writing: 6-14-1 and 6-14a
 * Narratives should be written in past tense
 * It's a good idea to write the title and the ending first
