Linking Verbs + Portfolio Info

Sorry for the delay, everyone. As Kyle says... I have the memory of a goldfish.

Today's assignment:
Draw a line under the linking verb in each sentence.

1. The animal shows are my favorite exhibit.
2. The farmers seem friendly.
3. The animals look healthy.
4. The judges are experts.
5. One judge is a farmer.
6. He appears knowledgeable about the animals.
7. Sheila seems quite skilled.
8. Her sewing appears perfect.
9. The dress is a blue ribbon winner.
10. Hans and Jody are relaxed, too.

After we check our work, we'll be talking about... dun dun dunnnn... VERB TENSES!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!

So. Onto portfolios. Here's a list of what you should have in your portfolio (remember, portfolio check is tomorrow):
1. Fantasy story (1 draft)
2. Heater story (2 drafts)
3. Donkey story (2 drafts)
4. Crisis (president) story (2 drafts)
5. Island story (1 draft)

Finally, here's what I've been promising I'd post regarding the header format for your stories. You don't have to make an actual "header" - what I'd like you to do instead is:
1. Make sure your text is aligned to the LEFT.
2. First line - type your name.
3. Second line - type the class (Language Arts A or Language Arts B).
4. Third line - type the date.
5. Fourth line - CENTER your text alignment for the title.
6. After you've included your title, hit enter for the next line, re-align your text to the left, and begin your story.

I'll be showing you how to follow these steps in class today. I do expect the final draft of your Island story to follow this format. Here's a picture of what it will look like (click to enlarge the picture):
