I noticed how golden the sun is coming in the windows during their class period. Something to be thankful for during this time of year.
We started the class with our Visual Vocabulary words: gist and fealty. Now that the election is over, hopefully none of us feel that way anymore!
Writing
After reviewing the www.asia.b clause, the new #2 preposition sentence opener, students we read the Checklist together, they are now ready to write their compositions. The three paragraph summary is due next week.
Grammar
Today’s grammar discussion continued our unit on Phrases. Today it was Participial Phrases. Using these phrases correctly is key to “leveling up” your writing. Students took notes on how participials look like verbs, but they function as adjectives because they describe a noun/subject. Participials usually end in “ed” or “ing.” Students had a chance to write a few practice sentences and they were assigned homework.
Students then got in small groups and played a round of Phrases Matching. Each set of cards had the phrases we have learned so far: prepositional, infinitive and participial. For homework they are to complete a Phrases Review, which is posted as a Google Form on Google Classroom.
Literature
They have reached the pinnacle climax of our story. The students have been enjoying our novel and it is coming to an end. They are to finish it this week and do a 3 Responses worksheet as usual. Next class, we will be prepare for the final exam by playing a Peace Like A River board game. ATTENTION! I did not assign this in class: For next week, they each must write a question on their assigned chapter to add to their question decks. See your assigned chapter and post your question on Google Classroom.
Have a blessed weekend!
