2. We practiced grammar issues including subject-verb agreement, active & passive verbs, to be verb eradication, and split infinitives.
3. We peer reviewed your descriptive paragraphs regarding your relatives. As noted, the more you can "explode" a detail - showing one's voice, clothing, behavior - can add to the overall impact of your description.
4. We very hastily reviewed essay structure - introduction, body, and conclusion. Yes, this was a complete rush job, but the clock worked against us today! For Monday, write an introduction to your relative body paragraphs. You are more than welcome -- and I would recommend this for future drafting - to type up these four paragraphs for classroom work. We will work on introductions and conclusions next week, and then you will have a final draft!
