Today, we talked about description. We practiced out loud a bit (see images in PowerPoint) and began our first assignment.
The prompt is: Write a paragraph describing one ordinary, everyday object. The full assignment is on the last slide of the PowerPoint.
After we read the prompt, we read "Mirror," a short poem by Sylvia Plath. We are reading this poem to see how the author uses descriptive words (adjectives, adverbs, and action verbs) to describe.

Tomorrow, we will finish "Mirror" and begin revising the paragraph we wrote on the ordinary object.
Also: Please note that the date for Open House has been changed. The new date is Sepember 19, 2017 from 6-8pm. See you there!
