Today, Ryan created a final draft of his paragraph (actually 2 paragraphs) literary analysis. Again, this was practice and not a full essay. We reviewed it together and I wrote on the board some tips for him. They included avoiding word and idea repetition, correct use of vocabulary, correct sentence structure, organization of ideas, and spelling. We created a list of ten words that Ryan spelled wrong in the response. I am passing on all of this to Danielle Kennedy and I am hoping that Ryan is given a quiz on those ten words. Ryan did a good job and I would like him to continue to work on his writing skills throughout the year.
