    This document provides a writing lesson on parallel structure and using vivid words. It explains that sentences with parts that are alike should have the same grammatical form or pattern. An example is provided where "Fish swim, birds fly, and dogs bark" is correct because the verbs are parallel, while replacing "bark" with "barking is something dogs do" is incorrect. The document also stresses using vivid adjectives, nouns and verbs to make writing more engaging by providing an example where "The sprightly chimp scampered into the rickety cardboard box" is more descriptive than "An animal went into the box." Students are instructed to practice these techniques in exercises in their writing booklets.
