In Essay Writing class, we are winding down our unit on Restaurant Reviews. Those who have sent me their final restaurant reviews along with digital photos can now see their reviews online at:

Some people have sent me photos without an essay, and some have sent me an essay without a photo. I need both to post them online! Please send me your reviews so I can get them on the Internet for the world to see!
From today, we will start our final essay writing unit on Narration. This writing will involve telling an interesting story. Some people may think they don't have any interesting stories to tell, but actually, we all have interesting stories. The important thing is how we tell the story. In class, I will give you some examples.
One of the conditions I have for the final essay is that it must contain some dialog. Dialog means direct quotations by people in the story as they speak to each other. To write good dialog, please remember to use quotation marks. Below is an example of dialog showing 3 ways quotation marks can be used.
“If the weather's fine,” she said, “we should go to the beach.”
John answered, “I'd rather go to the mountains.”
“We went to the mountains last time!” she replied angrily.
When using dialog in an essay, each new speaker's words should be indented.
Any questions? Ask me in class or send me email!
