English 1

Today in class, students went to the computer lab to begin typing their personal narratives. On the computers, they learned how to properly format their papers in MLA style, and they also learned how to correctly format dialogue in their narratives. Next they came back to class and students who needed to retake their parts of speech quiz got their second chance to do so before reading from their choice novels. To end class, students learned about the importance of powerful verbs in their writing through a demonstration by one of their classmates.

Homework

• Get rid of boring verbs and "be" verbs in your narratives, and replace them with powerful verbs
• Be good for your substitute on Friday!
