ORANGE DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today we finished up with our paragraph unit....you were asked to complete your MAJOR/MINOR outline for organization, and then asked to put that outline into writing to craft AT LEAST 1/2 page of writing...you could choose your own topic as long as the writing was narrative, expository, persuasive, and descriptive!!

COLLEGE ENGLISH

Today in class we went over the sentence variety exercises that you were asked to do for today!!! I want to make sure you know how to begin your sentences with either participle phrases, adjectives, prepositions, or appositives....then we worked on revising our drafts and making sure we had a good lead and voice and sentence variety!! A participation grade was given for all this work.

Your final copy of your personal narrative is due TUESDAY. Please follow the procedure:

1. PRINT IT BEFORE CLASS. ON PAPER. SERIOUSLY.
2. Be sure your paper has voice
3. Be sure your paper starts with a Q.A.Q.S. lead
4. Be sure that AT LEAST three of your sentences are purposely changed to reflect the sentence variety strategies we have been working on. Please be sure to UNDERLINE the alternate sentence beginnings that you have in your paper.

Have a great weekend!!!!!
