Spelling: Your Writing
Think of something that many people own. For example: a television, a bathing suit, a refrigerator, an appetite. Make notes describing the one you own. Make notes describing the ones that two other people own. Write a chart giving at least four details for each. For instance:
Refrigerators Mine Brigette's Sascha's always something to eat always full, stuffed lots of cans and jars an egg or two hard to find anything some empty bottles leftovers things rotting in back almost nothing in veg. tray pretty dirty vegetable tray vegetables neat, fresh freezer crammed never completely full four kinds of ice cream
If your teacher or study group would like you to develop this exercise into a longer comparison/contrast paragraph, revise it double-spaced on a fresh piece of paper, a word processor, or a class bulletin board.
- Organize your notes to form a paragraph comparing and contrasting the three columns of the chart.
- Read your paragraph to find any words which contain added endings such as: -s, -es, -'s, -s', -ed, -er, -ing . Underline those words.
