past perfect

= 1 past action before another past action

Can you write a story with a beginning/middle/end & using the past tenses?

1. Yes & I don't need feedback
2. Yes, but I want you to look at my writing
3. I need more time to write it
4. No, I don't even know how to start

Reflect

1. yes, I don't need feedback -> do you want to practice more? go to MEL or just follow the same steps, but write about a different event/adventure

2. yes, but give me feedback -> send it to me via Magister & do the MEL writing activities

3. I need more time -> come to a flex to finish & practice on MEL

4. No... -> come to a flex and we'll figure it out :)
