Explore Afghanistan on Google maps. Use street view to get a sense of what different places in the country look like. 

Once you've explored the country virtually, choose one image of a place in Afghanistan. Take a screen shot of it and paste it into a Word document.

In your document after the image, write a one-paragraph description of the picture. Just tell exactly what you see in a clear way. Avoid giving opinions or interpretations. Just tell what you see.

After you've written your first draft, make sure you have a topic and a concluding sentence, and proofread for capital letters, and mechanics. Give in your edited and revised draft.

For example, a description(make sure you have a topic and a concluding sentence, and proofread for capital letters, and mechanics. when doing your version):

This photo of a place in Afghanistan was taken from a balcony on a clear, sunny day. We can see laundry baskets and hanging wires. Many cars and a large truck are parked nearby. Some vehicles look like they’re covered for storage. Wooden pallets are also visible. In the distance, we can see buildings under construction. There’s also a large domed building that looks like it could be a cathedral, or a mosque, or a temple

A defining feature of Descriptive Writing is A. lack of detail. B. vague descriptions. C. dialogue and vivid, sensory detail.

Have anyone did “Hispanic heritage month aims to embrace many different traditions” quiz or have read the article in newsela. If so y’all know the answers?? Im like struggling over here loll

Thesis of my meatballs my self 

WATCH OUT FOR "ING" WORDS. NO WORD ENDING IN "ING" CAN EVER BE THE COMPLETE VERB OF A SENTENCE.

The following examples are fragments:

1. Sitting on the bench feeding the pigeons.

1. Wondering about his future.

1. The woman running down the street.

1. Was calling his friends, rounding them up, and handing out tickets for the game.

None of the above is a complete sentence. However, each can be completed by adding a subject and/or verb. Don't be fooled by length. There is much action in the last example, but we don't know who is doing all of it.

Mark "OK" for a complete sentence, "RO" for a run-on sentence, or "CS" for a comma splice.

1. They were neighbours they were good friends.

1. A bad grade bothers me, don't think it doesn't.

1. She isn't coming, she has no transportation.

1. Ann has wanted to buy the ring since she saw it in the

  store window.

1. There were two seats left, we took them.

I am sportsperson. I was an basketball team.

Basketball has always been my favourite game.It was October, we

were preparing for an Interschool Basketball Championship. I was good

both at studies as well as sports.

Therefore my parents  were very supportive. 

But one day,Just a week before the inter school basketball championship,

I fell down the  stairs and broke my ankle bone.

The doctor told me to stay at home and take rest.I was utterly disappointed.

I talked to my Sports Teacher,she told me to follow the advice of the physician.

I did that only and followed the physician's advice.I was unable to participate  in the Interschool Basketball Championship.

But after two months I was fit again.I practiced a lot and next year again I participated in Interschool Basketball Championship.This time I was the champion and I won the trophy.

Friends the moral is that there are good times  and bad times in life but we need to keep doing hardwork.

METHOD 2: Separate two independent clauses with a semicolon or a period.

1. faulty: Students write papers, professors correct them.

revised: Students write papers; professors correct them.

faulty: The men cooked dinner, the women mixed the drinks.

revised: The men cooked dinner. The women mixed the drinks.

In addition, connecting words such as however, therefore, consequently, nevertheless, likewise, besides, also, then, furthermore should be used after the semicolon or period--but not a comma. Because these are strong words, they should be followed by a comma. The word then is an exception; it does not generally take a comma.

1. - Students write papers; then professors correct them.

- The men cooked dinner; therefore, the women mixed the         drinks.

- The train stops here. However, it is always late.

- I hope the Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup. Nevertheless,     they have a way to go yet.

4. You want your freedom nevertheless you will have to get a  job.

2. First we eat dinner, then we have dessert.

METHOD 3. Change one of the independent clauses into a dependent clause. This can be done using one of the CONDITIONAL WORDS we discussed earlier.

** Remember, when a dependent clause comes at the beginning of a sentence, it is followed by a comma.

1. faulty: Students write papers, professors correct them.

revised: When students write papers, professors correct them.

faulty: The train stops here, it is always late.

revised: The train stops here although it is always late.
