COLLEGE ENGLISH

Reminder that the vocab quiz is on THURSDAY for you folks

Today we looked at some "Quote Integration" strategies and we discussed how to use transitional connectors in effective ways...

You were asked to write the "cribbage" paragraph on the back of the handout...

A writing exercise was assigned, and you were given time in class to work on it....it is due next time....I want you to write an informational piece of writing using at least four quotes. What I wrote on the board was:

Any sort of informational writing!!! I just ask that you use at least FOUR quotes with TRANSITIONAL CONNECTORS!! Some ideas if you don't know what to do?

* Interview someone about their favorite coffee or restaurant...
* Find out information about a WHS teacher or staff member...
* Write about popular trends/hobbies that people have...
* "Introduce" someone to the class by writing about them...

Almost anything will work. Just focus on WHY we are doing this. Citing and quoting correctly is VERY IMPORTANT
