Today's class will be the last one focusing on descriptive writing. Evaluating introductions and listening to samples of body paragraphs and conclusions should assist you in creating accurate, mood-inducing reflections of your three selected family members.
By Friday at 3:30 p.m., your assignment is to turn in a hard copy of your descriptive essay. Attach the scoring guide and your three previous descriptive writings (painting, library, object) to the final draft. If you are absent all day, you are to share the essay with me and bring a hard copy on Monday. If you are at school at any point of the day, you are required to turn in the work by this time. (This will be the expectation for all future essays.)
For the remainder of the hour, you copied down vocab unit 3, which will begin tomorrow, and worked on your essay. Today is the last class time to work on the essay; the remainder of the work - the beautification of your writing - will occur for homework.
P.S. Don't forget literary devices in your own writing -- utilizing similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole, alliteration, and other techniques add to your presentation and voice.
P.P.S. Don't use contractions - spell out everything!
