Mr. Buxton, What is the video on? I wasn't there so I missed a little.
Wait, never mind. I found it! :)
Don't hesitate to ask anymore questions.
To include absolutes effectively, you will need to make sure your initial sentence is descriptive. To include appositives, you will need plenty of nouns.
TOday's lesson taught me firm about claims. I totally get them now and I feel pretty confident about them!
compound sentence error J?
Hey Mr. Buxton, how long does our draft has to be and when is it due?
2 sides - same length as the mentor feature articles we have been using. Next Fri completely finished, but you should have completely written it by next Monday - rest of the week will be editing.
Yes compound sentence error.
Whoops......
Are we still aloud to bring in our own article for the reading response?
yes
