Today we started with MAD GAB. We then went over vocabulary 15 together. We did some major reviewing of adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Finally we started an essay on pop culture. Here is the prompt:
ESSAY:
Artists, musicians, and actors today have lives that are unrealistic to the average person. Some are looked at as positive role models who can have a strong influence on the lives of teens. Others are looked at as negative personalities who should stay out of the lime light. In your opinion, are those in pop culture positive or negative role models and why?
