Writing (Eureka Week)
Writing!
- Add 1-3 more paragraphs to each main point. These paragraphs should support your main ideas.
- Try and have the last sentence of your last paragraph in your first point tie into the next point. Do that with each section.
- Write a concluding paragraph.
- Your paper should be a full outline or rough draft at this point.
- You now have all of December to finish it up and have different family members read it for you and help you make corrections.
- It will be due on January 7th. You will present your papers as a speech. So as you finish up your papers, practice reading it as a speech. We only have 45 minutes in class, so we will break into small groups and you will give your speech to a few others.
adverb - An adverb is like an adjective, but instead of describing a noun or a pronoun, it tells you more about a verb, an adjective, or even another adverb. An adverb describes how, when or where something happens.
