Today there was a list of transitional words and phrases handed out, along with a noun sorter and a review on subject,verb, object. We started the sentence review (page 1) and had time to edit the interview paragraphs. These will be called "Brief Bio" on the marks program. The marking rubric is available on the website if you want to see it. I also took everyone's picture. The additional editing requirements were:
- use the patterns from the worksheet at least 1 time each
- get rid of boring words like nice, big, good
- snazzy opening
- connectives/transitions within the paragraph
- get yourself out of the paragraph
Bad News!! The quiz has been moved up to this Thursday, Feb 8 (bias to style) . Good copy of the paragraphs are due tomorrow.
Bonus for today: Go to my website. Read the quotes. Copy out your favourite and write 1 sentence telling me why you like it. Bring it in to class tomorrow.
