English 8M

So far we have done two writing assignments. The first assignment was what you did with your summer, which also included, three things you love about English and three things you dislike. The second writing assignment had the same idea but you had to write it from the perspective of a desk. I look forward to seeing how creative you can be. That writing assignment is due today. Today in class we will be using our senses to expand on our writing when describing people. We will also be looking at expanding our word choice when writing. Have a great weekend and see you on Monday
