Activities/Procedures
Weve been working super hard on writing our realistic fiction stories. Weve written our leads,
established our problems, and our characters have made their first attempts to solve those
problems. Unfortunately their attempt did not work and they have to try again.
Have you ever really REALLY wanted or needed to do something and the first thing you try doesnt work?
How did your fist attempt failing make you feel?
I bet our characters are starting to feel frustrated. Think about a time when you felt frustrated. What
did that look like?
Did you stomp your feet? Clinch your fists (show them what this looks like)? Think of what your face
might look like when you feel frustrated.

Draw the face on the chart under frustrated. I need to use descriptive words, words that help me make a
picture in my mind, to help the reader know what this face looks like and how my character is
acting.
Write 3-4 words or short phrases like gritted teeth, slanted brows..( draw a picture to go with this) What
else might I use? (think other body actions like hands on hips)
What about angry? Do you think our characters could be angry that they cant solve their problem yet?
How might angry look? 3-4 words to describe sad drawing a picture to go with it.
Put yourself in our character Grahams shoes. Hes lost in a store. Hes looked up and down the aisles for
his mom and he cant find her. How would you feel if you were lost in a store and could find your
mom? (scared)
What do you think Grahams face would look like? Turn to a friend and show them what you think
Grahams face would look like. Turn and talk to a friend about what scared sounds like. What does
scared look like with the rest of your body not just your face?
What words would you use to help create that picture? draw a picture and list 3-4 answers on the
chart.

Think in your head what might that look like. What words would you use to describe it? take about 3-4
answers.
Have a poor example of the second attempt written. This example needs to tell the emotion and not
show it. Have the students point out the issues with the story. Have the students make
recommendations on how to show the emotions and not name them.
Over all the lesson went really well. The students were engaged and really had fun with the lesson. The
writing that the students produced also showed that they applied the material in the lesson to their work. I
did have a couple of wiggly students. I think that these students would have benefitted from a closer seat
to the bored where there would be less distractions. Trying to calm those students also distracted and
interrupted the lesson. My observer recommended picking my battles with those students and letting
them be a little wiggly sometimes.

Graham could feel tears of fear welling up in his eyes. He turned his head wildly trying to
scan the store for his mom. Mom? Graham called his voiced catching in his throat. She
was nowhere to be seen. Graham could feel his hands becoming sweaty as he fidgeted
his fingers. Panic began to set in. He just had to find her. Graham began to slowly shuffle
his feet down the aisle whimpering. The closer he got to the end of the aisle the faster
he began to move. Mom? Graham called again with a little more confidence. Graham
began running up and down the aisles frantically looking for him mom, but she was
nowhere to be seen. After checking his fifth aisle it felt like there was no hope. Graham
sat down and began to cry. Big fat tears rolled down his cheeks as he quietly mumbled
What if I never find her?
