Week 1 - Writing & Literature Recap

Writing:
Today you learned about Key Word Outlines--KWO--and how to write a paragraph from the Music, Jefferson, & the Declaration source text.


Don't forget the KWO rule:
#s & @s R


In today's class, you learned following three stylistic techniques.
  1. dressup 3 - strong verb
  2. dressup 6 - because clause
  3. sentence opener 1 - subject

This week you'll be typing up your paragraph with the stylistic techniques we learned. Make sure that you format your papers correctly and make sure you email me a copy by Tuesday. If you are using google docs, you can just 'share' the document with me.

What should your paper look like? Check your resource binder for an example of a correctly formatted paper. Here are few reminders:
  • CLASS date & name
  • class & teacher name
  • draft number
  • double-spaced 
Make sure that you attach your handwritten outline & draft to your typed copy. You paper should be noted as draft 1 since this is the first time you are submitting your paper.


Literature: 
Please make sure that you choose 2 poems. Bring in the title & author. Or include that info in a comment.
