Let\'s Deal the Writing TAKS a Knock out punch

2/25/2011

84 Comments

 
Picture
Thats' right! We will be writing from the heart and using all our strategies such as entertaining beginnings, 5 fully developed paragraphs with elaboration techniques interspersed throughout our stories. A simile here, onomatopeia there , a sprinkle of dialogue, a dollop of hyperbole,  a cartful of verbs and adverbs, and just a tad bit of humor. When we get done with the wow effects, we will scour through that paper with A CUP full of revise and edit  strategies. Finally, we'll  wrap it all up with an unforgettable ending, and Austin ladies the  Fourth Grade Eagles and Armadillos are going to Rock Your World!!.
 
Let's Go Aces!

If your doing a writing story you have to have CAPS, spelling, grammer, punctuation marks, and periods and you shoukd always capitalize the beggining of a sentence and names.

capitalize the beggining of a sentence names , places. End with periods or question marks. If you are making a list use commas. And you correct spelling and grammer.
