Week of 10/18-10/22

This week we started talking about narrative essays. Ms. Nickow had us bring an interesting picture to class that was shared in a group. We had to pick words to describe how each of the five senses were being affected in the picture. Then we had to write a paragraph with the words we chose. On Friday, Ms. Nickow showed us an episode of The Wonder Years. In the show, the main character narrates a lot of the story. This fits because we are going to begin working on narratives soon.

10/11-10/15


This week we turned in our pet peeve papers. I found out that some people can have interesting pet peeves. I also found out that some pet peeves are ironic.


10/11 - 10/15

This week we worked on our descriptive essays by doing different peer edits. Due to a weird week, we only had a few days in class to work on them. In order to get the best essay, we needed to revise them many times. Then friday we topped off the week by going to see the school musical practice which was a unique experience.

Picure of the Week 9/27 - 10/1




This week we learned about imagery and descriptive writings. We wrote a bunch simile and metaphors such as "the biker is as fast as an elderly person driving", and with that we started our descriptive essay on our pet peeves.
