April 25

Today we started off reviewing past and present participles. Participles are verb forms that function as adjectives. We looked at where they go in sentences and what they modify. Then
each person was given a sentence with an error (misplaced modifier or dangling participle) and they have to identify the error. Next they have to draw whatever the sentences says, exaggerating the error as much as possible. Colour and decorate the picture. Finally, write the corrected version of the sentence on the back of the paper. Please have your picture done for Monday. Also your time lines from the webworksheets are due on Monday. This assignment was handed out 2 weeks ago, so no complaints about no time!!!!!!! I also handed out chapter questions for Mockingbird. Keep working on these as we go through the book. Hand them in as you get them done. Have a great weekend.
