3rd Hour A Day: Language and Literature
Today we focused on the Introduction of the Narrative Essay, which includes a “hook”. We discussed a variety of great beginning strategies, listened to several really good examples, created some with a partner, and finally began working on one for their own narrative. We also continued working with subjects, verbs, and avoiding run-on sentences in grammar.
