What does each word mean? there = not here! they’re = they are their = a plural possessive, a group owning something

Visual Stimulus This is a painting called Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley As you look at the painting, take in as much as you can, and describe the scene as carefully as possible.

Watson and the Shark Now listen to what David Lozell Martin wrote about “Watson and the Shark” in his 2007 novel Our American King.

Revisit your own description. What would you change? How far did you push yourself in terms of creating something powerful? Is there any unique or vibrant language that you did use? Share with us!
