Introducing Little Miz English

Little Miz English loved sentences!  She loved short sentences like Hemingway’s “For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never worn.” 

 She loved long sentences like Dickens’s “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” 

She loved silly sentences like “Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?” 

Little Miz English also loved sad and serious sentences like, “We started dying before the snow, and like the snow, we continued to fall.”  

 She loved romantic sentences like Browning’s, “Grow old with me! The best is yet to come!” 

Little Miz English especially loved sentences that made her think like Emerson’s “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” 

Little Miz English liked to collect these sentences in a special book.  In this book, she would also write her own sentences.  She would pay close attention to the details of the day so she could capture it in one sentence and write it in her special book.  She would start, “Today was a bright and bookish day full of reading and learning” or “Today was full of fear and frustration.”

 

One day Little Miz English learned that she would be traveling to Brazil for a month!  She was so excited to visit a school in Teresina, Brazil and learn all about the teachers and students there.  She was especially excited to create sentences that would capture her adventures for each day. 

Little Miz English was anxious to learn about Brazil and to tell the Brazilian students all about her home town of Salt Lake City, Utah.  She decided to spend a few days, before leaving for Brazil, traveling around Utah so she could show the students in Brazil all the great places and history in Utah.  

Little Miz English has decided to let her students and others read her special book of sentences so they can see what Miz English is up to and what she has learned.  Feel free to leave comments for Little Miz English.
