REVIEW:
We reviewed SUBJECT & PREDICATE and realized a PN/PA start with the word predicate. How interesting!
We played a quick round of MAD LIB!
Reviewed Combo of 3 :
Structures S & Cd. Purposes Dec and Exc.
Pattern:
A linking verb will describe the subject with a predicate adjective, making a sentence pattern like this: S-Vl-PA (Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Adjective)
NEW GRAMMAR: Here are the new concepts we covered
today.

Can anyone tell me what an adjective is? (An adjective
modifies a noun or pronoun by describing, qualifying, or limiting.) This
definition will be on the board and the students will fill in the correct words
after I erase them.
What are the questions adjectives answer? (What kind? How
many? Which? Whose?) These are the FAQs used to
identify adjectives.
So... an adjective is added to help explain a noun more precisely.
WHAT KIND? Descriptive: Answers "what kind"?
Adds detail to a noun or pronoun and tell what kind. Must
put the words what kind in front of the noun.
1. Common – blue sky, striped
shirt, beautiful girl
2. Proper – American flag,
3. Nouns acting as
adjectives – porch light (can nouns be adjectives? ABSOLUTELY!)
4. Take note of degrees
(positive, comparative, superlative
WHOSE? Possessive – tell whose
PNA – Possessive Noun Adjectives
PPA- Possessive Proper Noun Adjectives
PP- Possessive Pronouns
WHICH? Or HOW MANY? Limiting: Answers "how many" or
"which"?
~ Article adjectives: a, an, the (Which)
~ Number: (How many)
~ Demonstrative - Chart F: this, that, these, those (which)
~ Indefinite - Chart F: Look at the list.
~ Interrogative: Which book, what book, whose book
AGAIN the best way to know if you are looking
at an adjective is to know what questions to ask. These questions are really
important to memorize, so that you can tell the difference between an adjective
and an adverb.
We took a look at S-Vl-PA and added in an AJ and a PA. It was fun!

REVIEW:
We took time to listen in on our friend's decorations using our sheets.
STYLE: BANNED WORDS! We recapped all the words we
are NOT to use in our papers. WHY? Because WE ARE SOPHISTICATED!
One other thing to note,
which I will expound on Principle Parts of Verbs NEXT WEEK. Bring your
lifejackets. Writing from pictures will introduce us to PP because we are
writing in past tense, which is something that happened already.
STRUCTURE: YAY for a new structure, and a fun one at that. This one is
called WRITING FROM
PICTURES and we do JUST that. 1
paragraph per picture.
We looked at this photo.
The
name of it is Freedom From Want by Norman Rockwell. What is the central fact? We added that first. Then we made the clincher reflect it.
THEN we added a few sentences of CREATIVITY by asking questions. What is happening? Why are they having a
feast? What are they thinking/feeling? What do you think happened before this
picture to cause this scene?
(create a story
together)
NEXT, if we were to put
this to paper, we would add in the dress ups, and write out the sentences,
wouldn’t we?
This is what you get to
do this week. Moms, I do not care what the kids write about, use the, or the
IEW resource I attached via email, use a comic, or a painting in your home. Add
dress ups and walla! You have a paper!
