Today's plan:

1. Podcast: My website tutorial
2. "Stations" are set up for said, verbs, & adjectives
3. Let's take a look at student models for this narrative essay.
4. Writing time - get out your spiral notebook & turn to pages 60-61 of your Springboard (We're on Steps 6 & 7 today)
5. I'll show you how to write appositives (Ex. English, my favorite subject, is fun.)

Differentiated learning: Peer editing & final revisions 

OR 
 

Revising and Editing, #7. Use your spiral notebook!!   

a. Imagery: Write vivid descriptions. Use a simile!)

b. Include direct & indirect quotes in your essay.
Indirect: She shared that she felt thrilled when her name was finally called.

Direct: She shared, "I couldn't believe my name was finally called. After all that work!"

c. Sentence variety: Your goal is to write one of each type of sentence (Use your Writer's Craft in your spiral!):

1. compound: use fanboys and/or a semicolon to combine 2 sentences.
2. complex: one base sentence (independent clause) + one or more dependent phrase or clause
3. balanced: use a fanboy or a semicolon to combine 2 balanced/parallel sentences.
4. periodic: Opener, base sentence.
