Good Sentences, Good Format & Great Style!

This is week 2 of Essay Writing Class 2011. Welcome back!

In this class, we will work on 3 things during the year. We will ...

1) Work on making Good Sentences! That means we will pick up some grammar points each class and try to make our sentences easy to understand.
2) Try to turn in essays with a Good Format! That means the essay will have a title, paragraphs, spaces between lines, indent where necessary, and of course, always be typed.
3) The key to excellent writing is to have your Great Style! One thing we will try to do today is to use descriptive writing. Descriptive writing means using words and expressions that make the reader really feel the writer's intention. One way to be descriptive is to use the 5 Senses - sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. If you describe a place, for example, what can you see, hear, taste, touch and smell there? Try to make the reader experience exactly what you did!
