We are beginning work on commas, but toward that end it is important to understand the use of the semicolon. Today we watched a .ppt that told the two uses of the semicolon. As it was an interactive presentation, students wrote example sentences throughout. We will finish the presentation at our next class, and we stopped on "smooth out choppiness."
Students were to have at least one page of descriptive writing for today. The instructor will ask to see it plus another page or two by Friday.
On Friday, we will begin our work on exemplification. Please see the reading schedule for the scheduled readings.
To Do for Next Class:
Readings per the schedule
Additional pages of descriptive writing to bring it to a total of 5 pages
Monday, 9/26/11:
The instructor showed students what she liked about the descriptive writing papers. We looked at writing done by students on the overhead projector.
The papers were returned, along with student feedback.
To Do for Next Class:
Write additional pages to help reach five for the descriptive. The instructor will ask to see at least one page of additional descriptive writing in class Wed.
