Mirror Description

I hope you all had a nice, Olympic-filled weekend!

Bellringer: What is an obstacle you've overcome, and what was the lesson you learned from it?

I asked you this so that you can formulate your next writing topic. The ideas can very from less to more personal, but all should involve the lesson learned.

Recap: Working in pairs, each group was instructed to create a design using:
             1. A minimum of 3 lines, each with a different width, and one with a squiggle to it.
             2. They must intersect in at least one place
             3. An additional shape somewhere on the page

The goal for this exercise was to see if you could describe your design to your partner without showing them the picture. This tested how well you do with providing details and description. If you and your partner were able to reproduce both designs identically, you're both good at providing details and descriptions. If your design was off at all, your partner may not provide the best details, but you may not be listening. 

Work on adding these essential details to your writing. You may know what you're describing, but that doesn't mean others do. Remember that in what you're trying to say to your reader. 

Have a nice night!
