Post a topic sentence that answers the following question:

How do words/actions motivate characters in David Brenner's "Fisheyes?"

Note: Once you've posted a topic sentence, read your peers' and provide at least one person detailed feedback in a "reply" to his/her comment.

Lady/Tiger Topic Sentence

After reading Frank Stockton's "Lady or the Tiger," answer the following question by writing one (1) topic sentence. Though a paragraph is not necessary, a good topic sentence is very specific and provides reasons why.

Source Info. (author/title) + answers the question + "because" + why

At the end of Frank Stockton's "Lady or the Tiger," did the tiger come out of the door, or did the lady?

"Paddy Cats"

After viewing the video "Paddy Cats," write 1 paragraph (about 4 sentences) that summarizes what you saw and 1 paragraph (about 4 sentences) that responds to what you saw.

Post both paragraphs in one comment below this post.

*If you are confused by the terms "summary" and "response," don't fret--do your best and we'll talk about these terms in a few minutes.

My Adjectival Summer

In this first blog post, you will write 1 solid paragraph (6-8 sentences) explaining how words or actions changed you this summer. You will begin your paragraph with this sentence:

"I have never felt more _____________________(strong adjective) because of something that happened this summer."

After writing this sentence and filling in the blank with a strong adjective, you will explain what actions or words caused you to feel this way this summer.

For example, I might write, "I have never felt more energized because of something that happened this summer. This summer, I went camping nearly every weekend...." (In my next sentences, I would go on to explain how the experience of camping this summer has made me feel energized).

*Remember, blog posts are posted on "school property." Anything you post must be school-appropriate--something that you wouldn't mind Mrs. Pramenko or your parents reading.
