8th Grade--10/27

Today we began by learning a new WM word (seethe), and we practiced using it in sentences. Next, I put examples of pronoun errors from student writing on the projector, and we discussed how to properly use pronouns in essays. Please edit your essay with this in mind.

Next I passed back my essay edits, reviewed some common mistakes, and answered questions while students worked on revising for their final draft. Final drafts are due on Tuesday.

Don't forget to study for the grammar quiz tomorrow.
