Can you believe you made it through the first day of school alive? I sure can't!
Okay, so today, we are going to start working on our building goal of improving our writing skills. To begin with, we will take a look at your semester essays from last year. You will first read through what you wrote and the comments that Mrs. J made. Then, you will reflect on your writing using the reflection/ goal setting sheet that I will give you.
Once we are all done with that, we will get into groups and begin working on #wordcrimes. We will watch Weird Al's sweet video, and then divide our words up into groups.
Here are our word crimes groupings:
- less vs fewer
- it's vs its
- good vs well
- figurative vs literal
- who's vs whose
- your vs you're
- their, there, they're
- to, two, too
- woman vs women
- all ready vs already
- buy, bye, by
- lose vs loose
- who vs whom
- affect vs effect
- have vs of
