It was a mad scene in class today as we all took on our Mad Lit word list...some classes got to read some of their stories out loud and let's just say they are completely proving my point...which is to come (a bit of FORESHADOWING!) Today's assignment is as follows:
Write the following sentence:
I am a __________________________________. (fill in the blank)
Then you are to write 4 sentences describing what kind of _______________________ you are. For example if you are a dancer you would do the following:
I am a dancer.
I am a strong dancer.
I am a skilled dancer.
You should write 4 adjective sentences...remember that adjectives help describe how or what we are.
Then you will write the following sentence, the most simple action sentence ever:
I _________________________.(fill in the blank with a verb)
Then you are to write 4 sentences describing how you ____________________.
I dance.
I dance beautifully.
I dance passionately.
You should write 4 adverb sentences...remember that adverbs help describe how we do the things we do.
Tomorrow in class we will finish up the Mad Lit stories and begin delving deeper into symbolism, metaphor, figurative language and context as we prepare to begin reading our first short story of the year: A WHITE HERON.
