My Adjectival Summer
In this first blog post, you will write 1 solid paragraph (6-8
sentences) explaining how words or actions changed you this summer. You
will begin your paragraph with this sentence:
"I have never felt more _____________________(strong adjective) because of something that happened this summer."
After writing this sentence and filling in the blank with a strong adjective, you will explain what actions or words caused you to feel this way this summer.
For example, I might write, "I have never felt more energized because of something that happened this summer. This summer, I went camping nearly every weekend...." (In my next sentences, I would go on to explain how the experience of camping this summer has made me feel energized).
*Remember, blog posts are posted on "school property." Anything you post must be school-appropriate--something that you wouldn't mind Mrs. Pramenko or your parents reading.
