Warming Up, Punctuating, College Apping

1. Simultaneously, we briefly met to review your narrative warm-ups while you copied down unit 4 vocabulary. For those of you camping, that means I will need to see your narrative warm-ups for credit points.
2. After assigning vocab words to begin tomorrow, we reviewed punctuation by having students go to the board and correct sentences for comma, semicolon, and colon issues.
3. We began a college application essay example entitled "Porkopolis," which takes the boring prompt of selecting an influential person and creates a narrative that reflects more about the writer than Lisa Simpson.

For tomorrow, finish those last 3 paragraphs of "Porkopolis" and be ready to talk about the author's decisions in creating this narrative structure.
