Diction & Revision

Today we reviewed ways to spice up our diction (e.g. word choice) -- for example, using words other than "said" in dialogue... like yelled, whispered, replied, announced, snarled, gasped, etc.

Homework reading for Wednesday:
CHP 14 257-264, 268-269, 274-275 (Extra Credit: 281-286)
CHP 15 293-mid297, 207-mid310, 312-314

Reminder: Monday and Tuesday we'll be in the computer lab to type up our projects. Come prepared to type or (if you're typing at home) then bring your book/quiet work.
