Class on 2/8/17

Warm Up: Roll Call/What did you do on Tuesday  (simple past tense verbs recorded on the board)

Quiz # 1 Irregular Verbs 1-25

Return of Made a Difference paragraphs, and the common issues were

  • 1. Problem with the Form/Format. Did you forget to indent? or did you indent or create multiple returns so that your paragraph looks like multiple paragraphs. 
  • 2. No introduction:  A. Did you mention "Difference in your first sentence?" Did you create a title that stated you main point and then forget to state it in the paragraph?
  • 3. Fragments. Did you use lists, bullets or forge to state the subject or clearly use a verb?
  • 4. Dropping pronouns. Always review your work looking for subject pronouns especially the use of It with is.
