Don’t

word
reminders
on
them
to
help
you
remember
your

your

by
telling

you

(T-­‐S,
T-­‐T,
etc.)
3) Give
plenty
of
details

the
story.
4) Describe
what
you
connect
to
using
plenty
of
details.
Example:
TàS In Just Wacky, there is a kid with a Band-Aid on his face. He got hurt by trying to look cool wearing
someone else’s glasses. He fell into a hole and cut his cheek. Now it is picture day and he can’t get the Band-
Aid off. Once I crashed on my bike and scraped up my chin really bad. Like the guy in the story, I think I
looked like an idiot with a big Band-Aid on my face.
