When I returned my 5 part paragraph, I had forgotten one of my transitions! I was writing so fast and moving so quickly that I simply forgot it! I have no idea why I, or someone else didn't catch it before I presented. I also used very boring verbs in my To Kill a Mockingbird paragraph. Another thing I told myself I would work on was my sentence types. Reading over my paragraph I noticed that my sentences didn't really vary in length--they were all complex sentences!
This time around, the key was to SLOW DOWN. I have a problem with speed: talking, writing, EVERYTHING. My life goal should be to slow down and smell the roses! :) While writing this second paragraph, I realized I needed to take my time to perfect it. I went slowly, checked my rubric, and carefully chose words. Hopefully this time I won't leave something out, and my paragraph will be an improvement on my first try!
