Descriptive paragraphs were do today and I would like you to take some time to read and comment on your classmates' work.
Visit the blogs of at least 4 classmates and look over their paragraphs.
Choose at least one to comment on and do the following:
1) Write about your general impressions. What kind of mood is conveyed? Did you like the piece? Why?
2) Choose one sentences that have strong adjectives and verbs. Analyze why those words are strong and convey the mood set by the author. If you think the words could be stronger, give suggestions.
3) Give examples of figurative language and why you think it is effective or not. If figurative language is not used give some suggestions
4) Give any other suggestions or recommendations.
REMEMBER
1) Be polite
2) Use detail (use quotes, evidence, details etc...)
3) Use "because" ... "I liked this because ... "
