English 11/12

Welcome back!

Today we did a comma review sheet in preparation for a quiz on commas on Wednesday.

In addition, we reviewed the topic of. narrative compositions. Students need to create a personal timeline telling of 5-10 important people in their lives to date and 5-10 important experiences (scenes from their lives). The timeline will be due on Wednesday.

Also, students will write a 300-500 word narrative composition in class on Wednesday. It will be a scene where the student experienced joy, fear, pain, excitement or some other intense emotion. Students need to use as many narrative techniques as possible.

Finally, on Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz. The words are: audacity, incapacitated, chaperone, belligerent, platitudes, vacillate, nondescript, ominous, dissipate, jostle, trepidation, absolution, affronted, prevail, bereavement, and mesmerize.
