Module 2 Writing Activity
In your journal, continue your observation list of the scene you observed for Unit 3, Journal Assignment 1 by noting several vivid action verbs. Revise some of your sentences using action verbs and/or write 2-3 new sentences with action verbs. Try not to use any of the forms of “to be” (is, are, was, etc.). Underline the action verbs in your sentences. Again, you will want to keep all of these sentences at hand as you do the peer reviewed writing at the end of the unit.
Shawn, Jane, and their pretty little daughter, Emilia were rushing towards their train. Their coach seemed to be far from where they were.They rushed past several shops and eateries. The hawker selling candies tried to allure Emilia. She could not resist asking her mom to buy her some. But to no avail. A divine aroma of coffee emanated from the cafeteria, they just passed. It was so alluring! Ah! But they had to rush. They were in a hurry. The hustle and bustle at the railway station was palpating. It was like a sea of people. Some waiting for their loved ones to arrive, some accompanying their darlings to see them off. Sweethearts holding hands, hating to say their bye's. Minnie was there too. She was there waiting for her father. She would be meeting him after a long gap of twelve years! The crowd around her, some briskly walking to catch a train, some loitering around, some hastily advancing towards "help" counters wanting to confirm their tickets. But her mind was steady, mindless of all happening around her. She pondered and reminisced over all those years she had spent at home, with her family..Minnie wondered how her pa would look like now. Older, of course, but any less in vitality and zing, she doubted. She was happy to be getting together and spending some time with him.
WEEK 3 ASSESSMENT
Drawing from your observation notes and sentences from Journal Writing Assignments 1 and 2, write a description of the scene you have observed. Use action verbs and active voice in your sentences. Also, keep your verbs in the same tense and maintain correct subject-verb agreement. Your description should consist of 8 or more sentences.
Shawn was carrying little Emilia in his arms. Jane ran along beside him. Emilia had a teddy tucked tightly close to her chest. They had reached the station late, and were now rushing towards their coach. A hawker selling sugar candies, allured the girl with one. She urged her parents to buy it for her. But, they had no time to listen to her. A strong aroma of coffee emanated from the cafetaria, begging them to sit and enjoy the beverage. The trio sadly had no time for this luxury. They jumped in with their luggage, and the train chugged along. The hustle and bustle at the railway station was palpating. The railway station was like a sea of people.
