masterminds on mango street !

buenos dias masterminds . . . here are today's assignments:

1) using the following words (which we have been reviewing), write a paragraph using each of them at least once. For the less adventurous, you can write each sentence separately, but you must have one sentence for each word. They don't have to be in order, but you must use ALL the words.

- there, they're, their
- we're, were, where
- to, too
- accept, except
- affect, effect
- its, it's
- lead, led
- passed, past
- than, then
- threw, through
- loose, lose
- waist, waste

Feel free to look at all of the work we've done for help, but your writing must be original! Don't forget to practice using the spell check on the publishing toolbar. Also, please bold the word you are using in each sentence. (see example below) Post your paragraph/sentences on your blog! Worth serious bonus points!

EX: How well you do your sentences will affect your bonus points in dawn's class!

* If you finish your work before it's time to read, please complete PLATO assignments.

2) Continue reading House on Mango Street with DeAnna. Choose your favorite journal that you've written so far, and expand it into a journal post on your blog. You can include the journal question if you want, but your paragraph must be at least five to ten sentences long. Don't be afraid to practice the use of detail and description so that the reader will feel as if she were there!

See you soon! Con paz mi companeras!
