Make It Better
Aligned to W.1.5 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
After we write, we can make it better. We stay on one topic and add more details.
Worked example
First we write, "I have a cat." Then we add a detail: "I have a soft gray cat named Mo." Now it tells more!
Practice questions
- Read something you wrote out loud.
- Add one more detail to it.
- Ask a friend what else they want to know.

Hazlo Mejor
Después de escribir, podemos mejorarlo. Nos quedamos en un solo tema y agregamos más detalles.
Ejemplo: Primero escribimos: "Tengo un gato." Luego agregamos un detalle: "Tengo un gato gris y suave llamado Mo." ¡Ahora dice más!
