I feel __________ because _________________

As a Special Education teacher that dabbles with 6s (that is 400 1st Ave talk), I often find myself assigning conventional writing assignments. The conventional writing format allows students to look at a starter for a sentence while drawing their own information from their brain banks. This gives them confidence and a sense of accomplishment. I love conventional writing. So for the Peyton Manning ordeal, I will simply fill out one of my own conventional writing activities to express how I feel about him riding another horse.

AIM: Sarah will be able to express how she feels by stating her mood or reaction and using recalled vocabulary to complete a sentence.

Today is March 19, 2012. The weather is nice today. I wore a jacket to school. When I was at school, I learned that Peyton Manning decided to go to the Denver Broncos. This discovery in learning made me feel happy. I felt happy because I love Peyton Manning and want him to do well. I love Peyton Manning because he single handedly made the city of Indianapolis relevant. Peyton Manning is the best quarterback ever. Peyton is also a good citizen.

I will draw a picture of my happy face.

I am a good artist.
