Welcome To Wiki!

 

     In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive     site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.

 

   

                                   

 

 

 

Please review our rules for using this site:

 

We will post quality work that is academically relevant.

We will respect the work of others.

We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.

 

 

 

 

 

Your first assignment is to write a Masterpiece Sentence. You begin with a simple sentence and add to it until you end up with a complex sentence. Here is an example:

 

The Nile flows.

The Nile flows in Egypt.

The Nile flows in Egypt all year long.

The Nile flows quickly in Egypt all year long.

In Egypt, the Nile flows quickly, all year long.

In Egypt, the powerful Nile river flows swiftly throughout the year.

by Mr. Lindsey, teacher

 

Line 1: Start with a simple sentence (article + noun + verb)

 

Line 2: add where (prepositional phrase)

 

Line 3: Add when (prepositional phrase)

 

Line 4: Add how (adverb)

 

Line 5: Rearrange and experiment to find the best sentence.

 

Line 6: Add what (adjectives)

 

Line 6 (again): Change specific words to carry more meaning.

 

All lines: Edit for punctuation/capitalization/spelling/grammar

 

I will start everyone off with a Masterpiece sentence of my own:

 

The fish swims

 

The fish swims in the ocean.

 

The fish swims in the ocean during red tide.

 

The fish swims slowly in the ocean during red tide.

 

During red tide, the fish swims slowly in the ocean.

 

During red tide, the bloodthirsty shark swims menacingly in the lagoon.

 

by Ms. Hansen

 

You are posting directly to this site; therefore, you are not turning in paperwork. Don't forget to add your name so that I know who to give credit to. Don't forget to Save (not Save and Continue).

 

Please write a rough draft before you log on so that you can post quickly. Do not procrastinate on this assignment or you will be caught in the Freshman Frenzy. Wiki will turn off Wednesday evening; we will read our sentences in class on Thursday.
