Adverbial Narratives

To begin class, you performed your adverb skits, utilizing a plethora of adverbs to show action and behavior. While each skit came into fruition, the remaining students jotted down all the adverbs used and then reviewed the adverbs aloud.

Next, we returned to vocabulary unit 3, in which we are at a total of 12 words. As a result, we will have 3 words tomorrow, review on our block day, and the quiz on Friday.

Then, we started our next writing unit: narrative, the world of storytelling, often in first person. Narrative is about focus (theme), time, dialogue, character, and imagery. Be mindful of what characters and dialogue populate your narratives. To emphasize these narrative writing traits, we read Malcolm X's "Coming to an Awareness of Language" and analyzed these traits as a class.

For homework, read "Only Daughter" and prepare notes/discussion points for tomorrow.
