Today’s Warm-up:
Vivid Verbs
Use the most vivid, exact verbs you can think of in your writing.
- She ____________ into the sleeping baby’s room.
- The soldiers ___________ in line.
- She ________________ breathlessly into the room.
- The dancer ____________ across the stage.
- the huge wrestlers _____________ into the ring.
After the warm-up we tackled the reading quiz for “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan (pgs. 49-55). It was pretty basic information from the story.
Afterwards we discussed some of the points in the story, especially where Jing-mei’s mom finally burst and yelled that she just wanted her daughter to do her best, be her best. We read a little in class together and then it was time for the bell.
One piece of information that I shared was a new list of vocabulary scores on the door that showed whether you have an 85% average in vocabulary or not. If you do then you are highlighted in green and do not have any vocabualry homework. And it stays that way as long as you can keep that 85% average. Good luck.
Finish the story tonight and take reading notes.
Study vocabulary.
