Descriptive Blog

Add your Descriptive Paragraph from Friday's homework here.  Be sure to add vivid adjectives.  Consider the denotations and connotations that come with those words.  Remember to add sensory adjectives:  sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.  Use prepositional phrases of location in your paragraph.  Use at least 3 of the vocabulary words from 159-160. 

A Narrative...

Choose a specific event from your childhood that you consider special or significant.  Why do you still remember this event? You might decide to write about your first day of school, a particularly difficult class or exam, a time when you were called to the principal's office for something you had done, or one of your early birthday parties.  Describe the people and places that are related to the event.  Use vivid language to help your readers imagine that they were actually there with you at the event.  Your goal is to make your readers clearly understand why this event is so special or significant to you.
