Participial Phrases- Participles (verb phrases) describe nouns or pronouns.  Present participles always end in –ing.  Past participles usually end in –ed.  

Standing there in the middle of the street, Marty suddenly thought of Halloween.

Bullfight 

For Friday:

1. Be sure to complete "Why We Love Sport" sample via Classroom.
2. On Classroom...Look back at Lopate’s 3rd paragraph from Why I Remain a Baseball Fan. Think about either your earliest memory or moment of greatest exhilaration (playing or viewing the sport you love). Remember the people, place, and time first. Next lay out the sequence (beginning-middle-end) of that experience. Aim for 2-3 paragraphs so that you can develop some details when we revisit this. We are building a memoir piece bit by bit.
