Miss Kelli had assigned a descriptive paragraph as a writing exercise.. Hunter's initial effort lacked much in the way of descriptive material. I brought in a picture of Costa Rica and then gave Hunter an opening sentence to use in drafting a descriptive paragraph. We initially drafted an outline for the paragraph and then began converting the outline into sentences, describing the scene from sky to ground. I expect we will complete this on Monday. We also corrected some incorrect word usage in his prior descriptive essay by distinguishing : were,where, we're; then and than: there and their; scalpel and rappel.
