Week of November 28- December 2nd


Welcome back! I hope that all of you are well rested and ready to work.  We still have many things to cover and no time shall be wasted.  Also, make sure to turn in all assignment on time. We will be covering adjectives during the week.  As I mention at the begging of the school year, adjectives are very important in writing. Adjectives are words that describe nouns or pronouns by telling what kind, how many, or which one. Furthermore, we will analyze the difference between linear and webbed paragraphs in expository writing. 


Make sure that you view the following video to have a better understanding of adjectives.
