Collaborative Writing

"Collaborate" means work together, as a team.

Today we learned how to "embellish" (make it fancy) our base sentences.

Here was the original story, with base sentences:

A woman ran on a road. She ran between big buildings. A man on a horse came up to her. He saved her life.

Compare it with the embellished version we created by working together on a Google Doc:

A young, elegant, beautiful woman sprinted on a long, gravel road in the park. She quickly jogged between two huge modern apartment buildings that were built five years ago. A young man on an elegant horse approached her. The young man saved the woman's life by keeping her from falling into the traffic.
