Lastly, you will see writing personal narritves in the MEAP.Quality!! We continued more discussion on what quality work looks like.  Students gave ideas of what quality will look like in the personal narritives.  Ms. Kaufman had us set our own expectations by writing down and turning in 3 ways we are committed to showing quality work.  Some ideas given by student were proper spacing, neatness, grammer, details, spelling, strong verbs, descriptive attributes, and hooks. Tweet Tweet....We have a new hashtag of #eng8quality.  Ms. Kaufman said to tweet a personal example where we did quality work.She said her example was completing her college thesis paper and when she painted her house over this past summer.
