Today I returned the Brainstorming Workshop worksheet to students. The results were good, but not great. We did some listing, diagramming, and free-writing. Perhaps we should practice some more. We also went over part of the worksheet which was left as homework. After discussing Transitions, we finished Unit One and went to Unit Two: Five Elements of Good Writing. We have talked about Purpose and Audience. There are three other elements left to discuss. For next week, I gave a worksheet which asks you to choose a topic sentence and then ask WH and H questions about it. From answering these questions, you can write answers and become a better writer. Newspaper writers use this method, too. In addition, Activity 5 on page 36 asks you to use descriptive or precise words instead of boring or dull words. Please prepare that!
