Week 3: Journal Writing 2

Module 2 Writing Activity

In your journal, continue your observation list of the scene you observed for Unit 3, Journal Assignment 1 by noting several vivid action verbs. Revise some of your sentences using action verbs and/or write 2-3 new sentences with action verbs. Try not to use any of the forms of “to be” (is, are, was, etc.). Underline the action verbs in your sentences. Again, you will want to keep all of these sentences at hand as you do the peer reviewed writing at the end of the unit.

Sentences:
The man sits and types using his cellphone.
He pays attention to what the others discuss.

The receptionist talks, yells on the telephone with a student.
The teachers play and make a mess in the hall, talking loud and noisily, they want attention.
A woman and a man discuss the class and laugh.
