1. Welcome! September 7th, 2017 Thursday
Do Now
Get out your weekly Bell Ringer sheet and begin working on Thursday’s assignment. Once the bell rings, you will have five minutes to find the errors in the post.
Remember: Do Now's are INDEPENDENT and QUIET exercises. Thank you 

2. Correct the spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors in the following social media post.
What’s on your mind?

3. all-day: Add a hyphen to all-day as it is a compound adjective.
I’m…Los Angeles: An apostrophe is missing in contraction I’m. Los Angeles was misspelled and should be capitalized because it is the name of a place.
all-day: Add a hyphen to all-day as it is a compound adjective.
I saw…: A subject and verb needed to be added as this was a fragment.
Commas: Commas are added between the listed places as they are items in a series.
Downtown: Downtown is capitalized as it is considered a region; however, this is a debated topic.
The Sunset Strip: This is the name of a street and should be capitalized.
stars’: The possessive and plural form should be used here.
quite the tour!: Quite was misspelled, and only one exclamation mark is needed. TV, it: Commas separate introductory elements from the rest of the sentence.
than I had imagined: Then is mainly an adverb, often used to situate actions in time. Than is a conjunction used in comparisons. The verb tense should be in the past perfect tense (used when something occurred before another action in the past).
