Nounage

Our beginning was in the field of the vernacular and adding four vocabulary words to your mature diction. Our middle was reviewing noun rule issues including capitalization, plurals, and possessives. Remember, apostrophe usage or lack thereof may cause massive distractions in your writing. Apostrophes are for possessives and contractions; these are not used for plural nouns (desk's) or verbs (raise's). Our ending was focused on descriptive body paragraphs, the structure, and the accumulation of details that create a full picture of a person. Remember, similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, and other forms of figurative language assist in creating a memorable description. That tea kettle analogy is still my favorite!

During tomorrow's class, we will work on concluding paragraphs and verb usage.
