Today's Lesson Outline:
Pre-Writing Activity
Group Work

Homework

For the pre-writing activity we'll do a basic review of pronouns. Following the review, students will have the opportunity to write a short piece using pronouns and strong sentence structure (remember active verbs and adjectives). Please remember to hand this exercise in so that I may post it to the class blog.
