I hope you are enjoying class so far. Below are the basics of what we learned in the first part of Unit 1.
Purpose
People write for 3 reasons.
- to inform
- to entertain
- to persuade
Verb Tense Agreement
Choose a tense to write in (past, present or future) and stick to it. It is okay to occassionally change tenses, but your writing should be in one main tense
Person
- First person--I
- Second person--you
- Third person-- he, she, it, they
Just like verb tense, you should choose one person to write in and stick to it. Try not to change person too much.
Homework
For your homework, please write one paragraph on about how to do something. This is an instructional paragraph and you should use the imperative tense. Please use P.4 (An Easy Sandwich) as an example to help you. Your paragraph must be typed using 12 point font and it must be double spaced. Please bring this for next class.
