On this last day of August, we finished learning the last 3 words of unit 2 vocabulary and played last person standing for a review. We will have another review on Friday, and your quiz will be Tuesday after Labor Day.
In the continuance of grammar perfection, we completed a quiz over capitalization and apostrophe usage, our two featured noun-related mechanical features. Then, we moved into the world of verbs by looking at subject-verb agreement (including more tricky ones separated by prepositional phrases and ones involving the mighty "or"), active and passive verb choices (active rocks; passive not), and split infinitives (avoid for traditional, formal writing situations).
For the remainder of the class (and homework if needed) you are to choose 3 relatives and write a paragraph describing each one. As we brainstormed on the board, you may consider physical features, actions, reactions, thinking, processes, mannerisms, body language, sayings, diction, dialogue, history, comparisons, clothing, hair, and style. We will use these 3 paragraphs for peer/teacher review and to build your first essay for this class.
