February 6, 9 & 10

February 6
We went over subject and predicate and tried a few online things that did not work.

February 9
I wasn't here but what you were supposed to do was review sentences types, some parts of speech and do a writing prompt about sentences. Then you had to highlight the writing prompt in 3 different colours to indicate simple, compound and complex sentences.

February 10
The writing prompts should have been handed in. Then we went over sentence types and constructions again. Next we discussed the purpose of certain kinds of sentences and fragments in modern writing and looked at 2 examples from children's stories and finally we started work on a poem called "Long Distance". Please read the poem and do the questions for tomorrow. We will work in groups to discuss the answers, so please have yours ready.

Quiz on Thursday will be about parts of speech and sentence constructions.
