Quote of the Day

Write the quote of the day and what you think it means.

“Always forgive your enemies–nothing annoys them so much.”  -Oscar Wilde

The Handsome, Rude Man Violently Opened the Rusty, Squeaky Door

Adjectives (words like aborable, squishy, and rude) and adverbs (words like sleazily, quickly, impatiently) should be used only in moderation.  As an example of what not to do, add as many adverbs and adjectives as you possibly can to the following paragraph:

The man opened the door and climbed into his car.  As he drove along, he saw a woman walking with her friend.  After hours of driving, the man arrived at his house.  He got out of the car and saw a stranger. 

Now that your finished, find and underline the two complex sentences above (remember complex sentences have a dependent clause).

My Weekend–Basketball: Woosh

Write three to five verbs that describe what you did this weekend. Then write an onomatopoeia to go with it.
