3 Grade 1 Response to Literature Writing Paper C Translation: Armadillo Tattletale I like this story, you might like it too. Armadillo has VERY big ears. So, he told on people every time someone said something good about someone. So his ears got tiny. This reminds me of my sister always telling on me. I promise you ll like this book.

4 Grade 1 Response to Literature Writing Paper D Translation: Those Shoes Those Shoes is a good book because I have a connection to it. When I was a bit littler, I had a pair of little, sparkly pink, church, high shoes. One day Mommy realized that they were getting too little. I was sad, so I got new church shoes. In the book, Those Shoes, Jeremy wanted new shoes because all his friends had the same cool shoes that he wanted. One day in gym, his shoes broke so he really wanted new shoes because his only other shoes he had were girly and babyish. But he had new snow boots. The student writes 4+ well developed sentences that focused on a topic. The writing starts with a beginning that explains a text to self connection. The middle gives a summary of Those Shoes, but the ending is undeveloped. The writer uses descriptive language (little, sparkly, pink, church, high shoes).

5 Grade 1 Response to Literature Writing Paper E Translation: Armadillo Tattletale If you have a mean little sister that tattles a lot, you might want to read Armadillo Tattletale.

6 Grade 1 Response to Literature Writing Paper F Translation: Those Shoes If you ever wanted something really bad, you ll like those shoes. What happened in the story was Jeremy really wanted special shoes that cost a lot. Then Jeremy and his grandma go to lots of thrift shops. Then he found the shoes he wanted. But he got blisters. Finally he gave them to Antonio. My favorite part is when Jeremy gave Antonio (his) shoes because maybe Antonio s mom and dad couldn t afford it. I hope you will read it.

The writer speaks to the audience at the beginning (If you ever wanted something really bad ). The writing has a variety of sentence structures.
