Theme: Important Choices
Brainstorm ideas about important choices in your life in your writers notebook.
Talk to your table and share ideas.... maybe you can add an idea to your notebook.
Directions
We make many choices in life. Important choices can change our lives. One important choice might be choosing the right people to be our friends. Another might be choosing to do or not to do something that has been forbidden or that might be dangerous to our health or safety. Think about important choices that you or someone you know has made.

Tell how you can learn something from a bad choice.
OR
Give reasons (persuade) why a choice you have made was a good one.

Use the paper in your writer's notebook for... freewriting, outlining, clustering, or writing your rough draft, but only your “final copy” will be scored. If you need to make a correction, cross out the error and write the correction above or next to it.
