Honors Expository Composition period 6

 Today in class, we were to discuss the differences in descriptive technique after reading the Okefenokee Swamp Passage taken from the AP English Language Test. Today on your own, you will complete a WRITE-LIKE.  you will select the person, place, event or object and write about it mirroring the syntax of passage 2 in the Okefenokee Swamp passage.  You will need to read the passage to yourself several times and at least once out loud to begin to hear the rhythm of the passage and how sentences build off each other.  You may want to annotate the imagery and descriptive details not just of sight but also persona, size and number.   All of this is done and 7 sentences.  You will want your write like to begin with two adjectives and not introduce the subject of your description until the end of the first sentence. I will attempt to provide a template for you. Please work on this for period 6 and upload a draft no later than 2:30 pm today!
