Continuing forward with our descriptive work...
We completed our vocab experts for this round, which means that we will review all 22 words during our next class session and have a quiz over such the following day.
We select 4 highlighters (each representing a sense - sight, hear, touch, smell) and highlighted the sensory imagery in our library paragraph(s). From class consensus, sight was the overwhelming sense utilized throughout the writing. As a result, you provided examples from touch (the chill of the room, the feel of the uneven stacks of books, the plants, the tables), smell (moldering paper, food from the kitchenette), and hear (keyboards, pencils, talking, the tree branches hitting the window). Make sure to keep all of your descriptive writings as I will collect these as a mini descriptive portfolio at the end of the unit.
We read "Words Left Unspoken" by Leah Hager Cohen. This essay is online. If absent, use the questions given to you for the "Ground Zero" essay and answer these on paper for participation points.
You were given the grammar boot camp preparations handout - information due Friday - to start our grammar rules review and utilization in the upcoming weeks.
For next class, you are to select an object that has meaning to you --- no cellphones or pets --- and write one paragraph objectively describing the object and write one paragraph subjectively describing the object.
