ORANGE DAY

ENGLISH 12

Today in class we worked on a GoogleImage vocab review activity....for each of your words, Google the word and click on the image tag...then, out of all the images you get, select one that you think really expresses the definition of the word...paste that image into a GoogleDoc, and then write a good sentence about why you chose this word! If this does not make sense, come see me!

COLLEGE ENGLISH

Personal Narrative
-go through and read some of the "annoying" prompts aloud, in order to see how different people express "voice."

Effective leads
-we took some notes on how to write an effective lead for your composition...I introduced the Q.A.Q.S. method...
-I passed out a photocopy of an example of a writing prompt done with EACH of the four lead "strategies."

For next class, I would like you to come with a DRAFT of whatever you will end up handing in for your personal narrative assignment....see me if you need clarification on what that means...it does NOT have to be what you use for your college essay....but please make sure it is TYPED and PRINTED OUT so we can work with them....it will be a gradeeeeeeeeee!
