Writing -
Creative Writing - Under the Rug...
We are writing connected sentences to create a story based on the picture.
The goal is to keep working at increasing our accuracy of written communication.
***We are working at improving our grammar skills: understanding the four types of sentences, sentence fragments versus run-on sentences, the three punctuation 'stops,' and capitalization usage as well. Of course, proper spelling is an essential piece, too.***
