American Studies: Adjective Clauses

Today we peer edited "This I Believe" essays. Final drafts are due next Monday, stapled to top of edited draft. Revise your essay a couple times this week focusing on word choice, fluency, organization, and just making sure that you like it.
We finished correcting the Noun Clauses worksheet. Today I introduced adjective clauses: these are clauses that act as an adverb in the sentence, answering the questions where?when?why?how?to what extent? They often come first in the sentence, and they begin with a subordinating conjunction, a list of which you can find in section 746 of your Writer's Inc. Worksheet must be completed by tomorrow.
Book club books must be finished by Friday...Sixties Museum is tomorrow!
