  17. LEFT Closing Activity • Read the 2 examples of directions that describe how to get from my classroom to the play structure. • Pick the BEST example. Write down WHY it is the best. Be specific.

  18. LEFT Write-To-Learn • Remember: • Grammar and spelling don’t count • Focus on getting your thoughts on paper, not making it perfect • Can use abbreviations, text talk, pictures, symbols, etc. • You WILL be asked to share your thoughts

  19. LEFT Example 2 Example 1 Start from inside the classroom and turn left as you leave the door (going outside). Walk for about 30 yards. You will see a wire fence in front of you. Turn left and walk for about 60 yards. The playground will be on your left. Go outside and head East for 58 steps. Then go North and walk for about 100 steps. You will probably see a lot of children. Ask one of them where to go.
