Writing Workshop Lesson 12

Posted in Writing Lessons
I am not explaining what this was for, so you can wonder what this is about all you want!:-)

“Batter-up! We haven’t got all day!” Tom shouted.
“Stop yelling,” Katie said. She grabbed the bat and scowled at her brother. He scowled back.
“No girls,” Sean piped up from the pitcher’s mound.
“What do you care? She’s not on your team,” Tom snapped. Sean glared at Katie for a moment, then shrugged.
“Suit yourself. But I’m not going easy on her just ’cause she’s a girl.”
 “Who’s asking you to?” Katie said. “Play ball!”

Did you find this to be a difficult lesson? I think it is, even though it is short. You have it all right except for one place.

"What do you care? She's not on your team," Tom snapped.
Sean glared at Katie for a moment, then shrugged. "Suit yourself. But I'm not going easy on her just 'cause she's a girl."

The reason is this: Tom says something. Then....a new person does something and talks, too. So you need a new paragraph. It would be the same if you said,

Sean shrugged. "Suit yourself...." etc. I added more words just to make it look a little tricky. :-)

If is was TOM that was glaring at Katie, then you would be correct and when Sean starts talking you do a new paragraph. But as it is, you have to change the paragraph earlier.
Got it?

Dec. 28, 2007 - How did you DO that?

Posted by skmarlow
That is very cool how you did that. How in the world did you transfer it all over without having to rewrite all the stuff out? And how did you get my feedback over there? I might need that knowledge some day.
Oh...do you know how to post the lessons in order from 1-16. Oh! I just thought of a way! Put the "dates" on it in the order I want.
Once I finish the lessons, I want to be able to post them in ORDER, instead of in BACKWARDS order, so NEW students can do them much more conveniently. Can you help me figure out how to put a LINK to the writing lessons, in order, at the top of the WW blog (just under the Suzy's Writing Corner), maybe even in a border, explaining how they can start the lessons by clicking on a link. Then...my Writing Corner could post other interesting things, but the lessons could stay separate. Do you know what I'm talking about here? LOL

I see I posted lesson 14 and you haven't done lesson 13 yet. Amazing! I actually posted a lesson BEFORE you asked me to! Have fun with this one (but you have to do lesson 13 FIRST!)
