Opening Adjectives and Adverbs Package: 1st page only: Due Wed
Today, we learned three very different techniques to craft endings that show learning, change, and growth. You are invited to use a combination of these endings with each of your anecdotes. To use these endings effectively, you will need to THINK deeply about each individual anecdote and why you choose that anecdote to write about in the first place. Used correctly, these types of ending are VERY powerful.

Final Memoir: Due Oct 18th
You should have 'almost' a completed first draft of your memoir by Wednesday's class.
Wed 9th and Wed 16th will be redrafting and editing days.
You will have about 35-45mins of class time Tuesday to work on your Reading Response which is due Wed. Make sure you are making 'claims' about your character.
"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." Maya Angelou
What is a claim again?
ReplyDeleteA claim is like a main point, and that is what you would base most of your facts on. In other words it's like an opening sentence!

That is an awesome video Mr. Buxton. My favorite part is around 1:20. I love when it says 'Just do Right, it may you don't really have to ask anybody right may not be expedient but it will satisfy your sole'
ReplyDeleteI love the videos you post...
Think Pink!
Yah I agree with Jordan because it explains what she wants and what the image is explaining. I found it very sweet and cool.
