Class #8

I return your journals.

We go over grammar a bit (click on "a bit" for help with combining ideas), and groups work on Exercise 24.2, discuss Alice Walker's piece and share beginnings.

Peer review.

Homework

1. Read in Reid "The Red Chevy" pages 145-148.

2. Create the final version of the Remembering paper. Edit carefully, with special attention to fragments, c.s. and run-ons.

3. In your journal write out a completely different beginning for your Remembering essay. Try to think of a totally new way to begin -- it won't necessarily be better, but it should be different.

4. Make sure that in your journal you list the beginnings you brought to class for today.

5. Two vocabulary words.
