Hello Folks!
They always say that a picture says a thousand words. So, for Monday's work, we will be talking about descriptive words and phrases. What does that mean for you? Well, it means you will be asked to describe the picture above without naming any item in particular. That means you cannot write the words church or steeple when describing this picture.
Now, you might be asking me why I am asking you to do this without specific names. Well, first of all, when a person names something, it automatically gives an impression of that object which may or may not be accurate. For example, if I were to tell you I see a bird, and it is black and white, you may assume it's a woodpecker. However, I saw a penguin. But, in that respect, there are many varieties of penguins as well.
So, your assignment is to come in on Monday with a paragraph describing one aspect of this picture in as much detail as you possibly can put into it. Remember, don't name it or give anything else in the paragraph a name. Don't worry about getting everything correct; the point of the exercise is to get your minds working. And, you'll get some participation points out of it too.
Oh, and, yes, that is Notre Dame Cathedral. I have a (teacherish) surprise waiting for you on Monday as well!
