2. Partner activity to practice punctuating dialogue.
3. Work on the dialogue in your "Body Art" paper. Read your experience to a partner. Place the paper between the two of you so that you can see the paper. If you have your paper on a jump drive or if you e-mailed it to yourself, you will be able to see it on the computer screen - we have the cart today! Check the punctuation. If you have no dialogue, work with your partner to determine the best places to add dialogue in your paper.
4. Work on description . . . see Chapter 21 in Write Now - p. 437.

Homework
1. Add description and dialogue to your Body Art paper. Remember, even if you are opposed to body art, you have a story to share. Be sure your description shows your opinion on body art. Are you for it or against it? You cannot sit on the fence. Make a decision. Your description will show your opinion.
2. Continue your extended research. Look at last Thursday's blog or refer to your paper handout for ideas.
