4. Wonderful Wednesday! Editing Celebrity Tweets! Open your bellwork notebook. You will add today’s bellwork underneath what you did yesterday. Do not skip pages. Write today’s date, then complete the assignment. Kim Kardashian posted this Tweet on Twitter, but I see some mistakes! Re-write her tweet and make sure you use correct rules of conventions. (grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling)

5. Grammar: Kim accidentally uses ‘Were’ (the past tense of to be) instead of ‘We’re’ (a contraction for we are). Spelling: Kim uses a text speak contraction of the word family (fam). This was changed in the edited tweet. Punctuation: Only one form of punctuation should end a sentence. Kim uses 3 exclamation points. This is common in online writing, but is not appropriate in other forms of writing.
