This week we will finish working on our verbisections exercise. We have
been working with verbs and making observations about how the verb is
used in the sentence. Later in the week, we will begin to work with
adverbs and adjectives. Each student will construct a short essay and
monitor if they are using weak modifiers such as very, long, little,
slowly, greatly, etc. These weak modifiers do not provide useful
information and can be confusing and open to interpretation. When using
modifiers, each student needs to ask himself/herself if you are using
too many. With this essay, each student will be encouraged to use strong
and specific vocabulary.
