Module 2 Writing Activity

In your journal, continue your observations of the scene observed in journal 1.  Note several vivid action verbs that you have already used. 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.

[Homework]
What a coincidence! My long-lost friend Mylene and I just met up at the National Museum yesterday! Of course we decided to visit together! I was supposed to attend a lecture in the open air nearby but unfortunately it was temporarily cancelled because of the heavy rain, so I had to change my plan. And, last night, somebody happened to inform me that some Renaissance paintings were now on show up there, so I would like to come over and take a look. Those paintings were fantastically marvelous, especially Raphael's Angel - it's truly a gem! However, when roaming the exhibits, I noticed Mylene seemed to have something on her mind, and then I just recalled that she was never a fan of liberal arts. I felt pretty curious and asked her what brought her to museum on a rainy day, when nobody would love to go out, not to mention the fact that she was apparently not into it very much. She cannot help laughing and told me that she just came in to shelter herself from the heavy rain!
