Class on 5/8/13

Students re wrote corrected paragraphs. The instructor went over common errors.

• Imperative: do no write "you." It is dropped when we write.
• Use an active verb to describe how you might get to know a city.

Students practiced a presentation about a place they would love to visit.

Student used the same structure from the oral presentations to write about their home town.

     I would like to visit Jamestown. I would like to see the small downtown street filled with people. I want to smell the hay bales and to hear the splash of water as tourists pan for gold. I want to smell the hot sidewalk in the summer sun.
