"This I Believe"

2.g. "Exhibit skillful use of language, using a varied, accurate, and apt vocabulary."

I think this is the correct benchmark used for the "This I Believe" essay. At this pace, less is more; precise and strong verbs help build power in the writing. Know your audience and plan accordingly in your style of writing. "This I Believe" essays are personal narratives so select the appropriate words that go along with the tone your essay will take.

Honestly weak effort. You need to be more focused in class when I have you. You get distracted easily with social things. I want you to look at speraltablogfolio.blogspot.com for a solid example of this assignment. Re-do for more credit.
