1. Review/Re-read the Pronoun Review handout in order to complete the Pronoun and Antecedent Agreement handout by circling the correct pronouns. There are twenty sentences.
2. Whatever you and your team were assigned for the Expository Presentations (negation; analogy; exemplification; description; compare&contrast; process; division/classification; etc.) YOU will write an original paragraph in which you use the method your group was assigned. For example, if you were assigned Description, you may want to write a paragraph DESCRIBING your room. If you were assigned compare and contrast--maybe you will compare and contrast rap and rock music.
