REVIEW:
We played a game of WHAT WE KNOW by filling out two posters. We celebrated our knowledge and delighted in the fact that this will serve us well in Foundations memory work for English Grammar.
We also recapped the differences between a PHRASE and CLAUSE, and celebrated our knowledge.
PHRASES- does not express a complete thought and does not have a subject and a verb. (Prepostional, noun, verbal)
CLAUSES- does express a complete thought and does have a subject and a verb. They have a sentence pattern of their own and need to be diagrammed with their own horizontal line.
Independent- means that it can stand alone and it expresses a complete thought like a sentence. Think of the feet.
Subordinate or dependent- means that it cannot stand alone- and it does not express a complete thought. Think of the brackets holding it up.
PATTERN: S-Vt-IO-DO
Indirect Object = a noun or pronoun located between the transitive verb and the direct object that tells to whom or for whom the action is done and who is receiving the direct object.A new question is added to the question confirmation process in order to properly identify the IO.
S Vt IO DO
Jesus made me a crown.
Question Confirmation:
Who or what made me a crown? Jesus- SN
What is being said about Jesus? Jesus made, verb
Can crown replace or describe Jesus? No, label crown as DO, verb Vt
Jesus made a crown for whom or for what? Me; label IO
REMEMBER this about S-Vt-IO-DO patterns:
** A sentence will not have an IO without a DO. **
** The IO does not receive the action- it is still the DO. **
** Indirect Objects ALWAYS come between the verb and the DO. **
SENTENCE STRUCTURE: Chart G Complex (show poster)
JUST as we discussedàSo far we've studied SIMPLE and COMPOUND sentences.
A S sentence= one independent clause. It can be any pattern.
A Cd sentence = consists of 2 independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. (FANBOYS)
Now we move onto a New Sentence Structure
Cx sentence = one independent clause and at least one subordinate (or dependent) clause.
TWO TYPE OF CLAUSES
P.O.S: Adjectival Clauses and Adverbial Clauses
There are different kinds of subordinate clauses. The 2 most common are: Adjectival Clauses and Adverbial Clauses (GO TO P.O.S. poster and have them bring out CLAUSE handout)
Adjectival Clause

Modifies a noun or pronoun and answers the questions: What kind? How many? Which? Whose?
|

PURPOSE: Declarative and Exclamatory
DIALECTIC:
We will put these three combinations together this week.. Cx, S-Vt-IO-DO, Dec.
#1: Dictate sentence.
#2: Check Mechanics, asking first what do you see? Clauses and phrases?
#3: Question confirmation.
#4: Diagram Sentences.
CHARTS:
Here are the rules:
1 Chart = 2 Bunchems
1 MASTERED CHART=10 Buchems
1 Mom Chart = 1 Bunchem
1 ODD position picture sent = double bunchems
MATH
We played a game of ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS. It was fun getting the kids moving around. :)
IEW
NEW GRAMMAR: I introduced Unit 6 to the kiddos. Summarizing from multiple references is not a hard task to accomplish. It just requires diligence and time.
In class, we made two quick KWOs (one from each source – The Civil War and America’s Deadliest War) We then sorted like items (using the imagery of matching socks.) Finally, we created a FUSED outline. They can take this and create a dressed-up paragraph.
This is a skill useful for our FOH papers. Speaking of, here is our schedule. Remember, there are two ways you can do your paper. Slow & Steady or Unit 8 crunch.
