Focus: How do we bring setting to life in our writing?
Objective: I will bring my setting to life through the use of strong imagery, strong verb choice, figurative language, and varied sentence structure.

Using your journal entry on a location you know well, you will revise and expand your description to now include:

stronger imagery (five senses)
stronger verb choices
varied sentence structures
figurative language (at least one -- simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, etc.)
Use ONE word (strong verb or adjective) in your revision that you found interesting from yesterday's reading. Look up the definition if need be. Highlight that word in your writing.

Focus: How do we identify imagery and setting in a story and determine its effectiveness?
Objective: I will identify imagery and setting and determine its effectiveness by annotating a story in collaborative Google doc.
