Today in Class

Today in class we:
  • Reviewed the types of hooks from Friday and looked at students' rewritten samples
  • Discussed elements of descriptive writing (identified in provided samples)
  • Practiced the "Show, Don't Tell" strategy with teams-->then targetted our own sentences in our drafts
  • Revised for strong verb and adjectives after a quick review of these on Power Point using provided resources

There will be an application quiz tomorrow.
  • The topics were announced in class.
    • 5 vivid verbs
    • 10 high power adjectives
    • 2 sensory words
    • 3 examples of "show, don't tell"

  • A 100% should be easily attainable for those that make revisions and have their drafts completed and with them tomorrow.
