For Tuesday 10/25

Today we reviewed sentence structure and went through some exercises to add variety to our writing. We used sentences from Tuck Everlasting as mentor sentences for our work.

For homework, I want you to go through your "Place your Love" essay, and work on revisions. Focus on the following:

• varying sentence length within each paragraph
• varying sentence beginning within each paragraph
• add detail and imagery to your descriptions - remember when we added adjectives and adverbs to our sentences, how the image just "popped" in our head?!
• use some sentences from Tuck Everlasting to model your sentences.

Make sure your essay is Printed and has the pre-revision draft stapled to it!!
