MONDAY, MAY 24

1) SIMONE AND SAMANTHA, 

CASSY AND CARRIE -- 

YOU WILL BE THE TEACHER ASSISTANTS TOMORROW. YOU WILL RUN THE CLASS FROM START TO FINISH.

 

2) Regular quiz on Thursday -- the last one. Boost your grade by as much as 1.0%!

 

3) Find three more sentences 

in three different essays 

that you really like. 

Copy and paste them into the "favorite sentences" blog post you started last week, 

give the title, subtitle, and date 

of the essay you took each one from, 

and write at least one good, detailed sentence explaining why you chose each one. 

 

Here is the proper format:

This is a sentence from a paragraph I wrote on Sunday, May 23, entitled "Bird Songs and Student Words":

"We need, in equal measure, the soft and noisy birds and the shy and strident students."

 I like this sentence because of the smooth interrupter ("in equal measure"), and the purposeful repetition of pairs of adjectives ("soft and noisy...shy and strident") I also like the repeated use of 's' sounds.
