WARMUP:
- Write up a WELL-ORGANIZED, 5-sentence SHOW paragraph. (HINT: Write a bad TELL statement first, then “fix” it.)
- When finished, have someone at your table underline the subtle hints you included to show the order of the sentences.
Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement
- Take notes
- Practice the first 10 (of 20) on overhead “#25 Agreement”
o Review answers
Complete A, B, C, D, and E below (skip “F” for now): You will be writing across four time zones – past perfect, past, present, and future. These will be structured into an account of related actions.
- Start with any simple proposition –a kernel/core sentence like, “We ate the pizza.”
- Imagine a prior event, like “After we had finished the job,” (past perfect)
- Then, imagine an event in the present, like “and now we’re getting ready to go home”
- Finally, move into the future, like “where we will finish the day eating ice cream.”
- Arrange them as one sentence across the 4 time zones (start with past-perfect).

COLLECTED: On a separate paper, unscramble (and write out) each word-puzzle into a complete sentence (10 total) – “…the boy’s father sat…”
Homework:
Due Wednesday: Having chosen your poorly written “tell” statement (see choices from Monday). Then TYPE 2 copies of a well-organized, tripled-spaced “SHOW” paragraph and cut ONE of them apart into individual SENTENCES. Your other typed copy will serve as an answer key. Only typed copies will be accepted.
No vocabulary test this week or next.
