REVIEW: 

Each student had to write out the QUESTIONS an ADVERB answers. 

We also took time to review all the different combinations that make up our weekly combo of 3. See all we have accomplished so far??

 THIS WEEKS COMBO OF 3:

SENTENCE STRUCTURE: Chart G Compound A compound sentence consists of at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Coordinating Conjunctions- FANBOY

PURPOSE: Interrogative- asks a question

PATTERN: S-Vt-DO, Pattern is determined by the subject + verb or verb phrase and every sentence must contain at least 1 pattern. In a Subject-Verb Transitive pattern, the verb transfers the action of the verb to a noun or pronoun (direct object) that follows it. To find the direct object, ask “(Subj.)(Verb) who or what?” (NEXT WEEK S-Vl-PN)

NEW GRAMMAR: Here are the new concepts we covered today. 

P.O.S: Prepositions (Pr) Chart J

1.A preposition relates a noun or pronoun to another word.

The preposition, its object, and the modifiers between them create a “prepositional phrase”.

Prepositions are always followed by a noun, which is called the “object of the preposition”. (OP)

2. Prepositional phrases either act as adverbs or adjectives.

If it modifies a verb- then the Prep. Phrase is adverbial, meaning it acts as a verb. (How? When? Where? Why? How often? How much? To what extent? Under what condition?)

If it modifies a noun-then the Prep.Phrase is adjectival, the phrase acts as an adjective. (what kind, how many, which? Whose?) 

1. She sat between her friends. (((Sat where? between her friends – adverbial)))

2. I bought the dress with the blue stripes. (((Which dress?- adjectival)))

3. See how the prepositional phrase is added on a diagram?

 

3. We reminisced the cycle we focused on Prepositions. We sang the song and did the dance. Memorizing these prepositions would be wise! Check out the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPHICvMKxXk 

4. I read the little snippet and the students identified each Pr and OP. 

MATH

We started off with holding numbers in our head. We then had a few sweeties come up and lead out our mental math. We ended our time with drilling our tables! WTG girls!

REVIEW: 

We took time to listen to eachother’s paper. While our friends read their paper, the audience listened and documented any stylistic techniques using the scavenger hunt. PREPARE AT HOME for a fun vocab game- FAMILY FEUD on WEEK 9!

STYLE:

We took time to dress up a plain ol' sentence. We did pretty good!

STRUCTURE: 

We practiced another round of summarizing using the Louisiana Purchase source text. I think this source is captivating. NOW, you guys get to practice your MAD SKILLZ at home and finish building a paper. We did the first three steps together!

Here are your specific steps:

Step 1: Read Text, underline key words if needed--DONE

Step 2: Fill in Topic Sentence--DONE

Step 3: KWO 7 Interesting Text Facts--DONE

Step 4: Add dress ups

Step 5: Write sentences, utilize checklist.

TAKE NOTE: Sometime between Week 8- Week 10 I would like to offer a POEM ACTIVITY which is mentioned in Lesson 11. This lesson is a poem on AMERICA using Quality Adjectives. We will formally introduce Adjectives on Week 10. I want to offer this as an extra credit activity between these weeks.
