Today we began by going over gerunds and participles. Zach identified each in multiple sentences. Next, we read a personal narrative of a Pueblo woman, called "Beauty of the Yellow Woman." We discussed the theme, the narrative arch, tone, and style of the author and then related it to Zach's personal narrative draft. Next, we discussed revisions to his draft, then Zach began implementing them. Zach needs to revise his Malcolm X first draft for homework.
