Daily Warm Up: SIMILE: A boom of thunder startled them and like leaves before a new hurricane, they tumbled upon each other and ran. excerpt from All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury Your Original Sentence: They sent scientists and geographers to find human bones, using tools from their 4x4 truck. Your Imitation Sentence: The clank of the tools startled them and like kangaroos jumping in the air, they looked down and found human bones and ran to the truck. 24. Mentor Text Practice for Today: Use the two mentor text sentences in your packet as your springboard to revising your writing. 25. Like my students you read text and created a summary of the article. Now you will go through the process my students experienced in peer editing.
