Today we learned about the placement of commas matters quite a bit in sentences. For example: "today in class, expository reading and writing, 706, we learned about commas..." More editing sentences for better group literacy in the class to prepare us for college.

Today in class we learned more about parallelism, how you need to have similar ending on words so that the sentence makes sense.  More of revising sentences, and focusing on the topic sentence. If the paragraph has more than 1 topic, start a new paragraph!

In class today Hamilton showed us some things that aren't that big of a deal but they dramatically changed the idea on  a story. He said that just breaking up your story into little paragraphs instead of one big one makes your story that much better for the reader to look at.

In sustained silent reading today i got a new mystery book called 'The Last Coyote".From what i read today it is about a female cop that is at a shrink talking about a past problem she had twice now.  My boy christian read the book every young man's battle, which talked about the struggles all young men deal with on a daily basis, and had some ways to deal with them.
