Thursday 28 Sept- English 9H

There was a really interesting sentence in the section we read yesterday. Please copy the second sentence down in your Author Craft section of your composition book.

  • We entered into a melancholy little square that looked to me like a flat burying ground. I thought it had the most dismal trees in it, and the most dismal sparrows, and the most dismal cats, and the most dismal houses that I had ever seen.

Now, try it! Create a sentence with a similar structure. Topic is up to you.

You may use the rest of the hour to work on reading the text and Friday #4.
