Welcome to DAY 7!
Thank you for writing the assignment in your planner.
Please take out the following:
Envelope
Finished note cards
Pencil
Due Monday: sentence patterns
Exhausted hiker: “I am so
glad to see you! I’ve been
lost for three days!”
Other hiker: “Well, don’t
get too excited. I’ve been
lost for a week!”
Are you tired of the word “Iditarod”?
• When writing your rough draft and final paper, you must be cautious to not overuse words.
• In this project, it would be quite easy to
use the word “Iditarod” or “it” a gazillion times.
Today we are going to complete a Synonym Subject Form to help us prevent the overuse of these words.
• Whether you are on schedule with your project or not, you need to complete this form with the class right now.
• Keep this form in your envelope to refer to as you are completing your outline and typing your rough draft.
• This form needs to be turned in as part of the final project.

Next up: organizing our note
cards!
Sorting the Note Cards
PUT YOUR PENCILS DOWN! 1. Sort your cards into piles by colors.
Each color is one paragraph in your paper.
2. Sort the cards in each pile.
Each card is a sentence in that paragraph.
Put these cards in an order that makes the best paragraph.
3. Put the piles (colors) in order.
Make one stack.
4. Number the cards.
Use the circle in the upper right corner.
Number them this way:
1-10 for a two topic project (C contract)
1-15 for a three topic project (B contract)
1-20 for a four topic project (A contract)
Please put your note cards
on your desk.
Next up: sentence patterns!

Sentence Patterns
Each note card is a sentence and could be
written in several ways. We could use
different patterns.
2-1-4-3: A shiny and hard marble is like a piece of glass that
has been melted and cooled.
4-2-1-3: Like a piece of glass, the shiny, hard marble was
melted and cooled.
1-3-4-2: The marble, melted and cooled, looks like a piece of
glass that is shiny and hard.
Sentence Pattern
All you
have to
do is write
the
numbers
at the top!
1 2 MT
serum delivered in 127 hours
Serum Run
prevent diphtheria epidemic
3-2-4-1
relay team
Simply write the numbers at the top to show
what order you want to use! THAT’S IT!!
3-2-4-1 =
In order to prevent a
diphtheria epidemic,
mushers delivered serum
in 127 hours, much like a
relay team, in the Serum
Run.
Goals for Monday:
• You need to write sentence pattern
numbers at the top of TWO note
cards for EACH color.
• The other three cards do NOT need
sentence patterns (these will be your short sentences)!
– If you have two topics (colors) = 4 patterns
– If you have three topics (colors) = 6 patterns
– If you have four topics (colors) = 8 patterns
• Your note cards MUST be done!
• On Monday we’ll start the topic outline!
