Grade 5 Writing Worksheet
Slow down the moment. Write what the character sees, hears and thinks.
Moment: Maya walks up to the stage to give her speech.
Pacing is how fast a story moves. A writer speeds up through the dull parts and slows down at the important moment by adding what the character sees, hears and thinks.

Each version has a different moment, and the grown-up checks that every line adds a detail to the same moment.
