Bio Poem

A bio poem is a list of things that make up your life. Writing one is really easy. Just follow these steps:

On the first line write your first name.
On the second, four Discriptive words about yourself.
On the third,the names of any siblings. If you don't have any just write "none."
On the fourth,what you love.
On the fifth, what you fear.
On the sixth, what you need.
On the seventh,what you give.
On the eighth, what you would like to see.
On the ninth, where you are a resident of.
On the tenth, your last name.

when you are done, it should look something like this:

Corrie
Imaginitive,Laughing,Unorganized,Outgoing
Sibling of Ben
Lover of Snow,Chocolate and rollercoasters
Who needs friends and a good nights sleep
Who gives hugs and jokes
Who would like to see Australia
Resident of Oak Cliff
Coleman

proof-reading

When you write something that you are going to turn in to a teacher, you should always have some one proofread it. And I don't mean the computer's spell checker! You should always have another person check your writing. For example: If you were to type "There must have been some magic in that old black has they found." The computer wouldn't catch that. It wouldn't know that you really meant "hat" because "has" is a word. So always have someone read over your paper carefully before tuning it in.

Clear Nouns and Verbs

When writing a process (how to do something), go through your rough draft and underline all of the nouns and verbs. List them on a sheet of paper and try to find ways to replace them with words that are clearer. For example, you could have the sentence: "Wash the plate with soap." You could say"Scour the plate with a dollup of dishwashing soap." Note how it helps you to understand better how to wash the plate. The more clearly you write, the better your writing will be!

"Be Verbs"

"Be verbs" are words that are used so much that, when you use them, they take away from the quality of your sentence. Be verbs: is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been. After you finish writing a paragraph, check through your sentences and if you find any be verbs, try to find ways to work around them.
