Speak, Glossary of Terms, Last day's Original Compositions

Quiet reading of novel
Please note -- Speak final test will be next Wednesday afternoon (in our long block class).

I handed out a Glossary of Terms sheet -- it will be a great way for you to review and study your terms for the final exam.

Last day's compositions:  I read out portions of three compositions.  I reminded students of three throngs:

  • ensure dialogue is authentic and realistic
  • quotation marks are used correctly in dialogue
  • do NOT use small, overused words such as big small bad nice stuff things happy sad
