Simple Sample H/W - Your  grades for this work are in Powerschool. Many students scored 'Cs' because your use of the simple sentences did not 'add' anything to the piece. Look at Sajid's example and how he comes in with the short, choppy sentences at the end to create a powerful effect.  Can you use this technique next time with your piece?
