Week 23: Diagramming gerunds, infinitives and participles proves simple!

Wow! The kids were simply outstanding yesterday. They really hung with our completely comprehensive review of verbs, including forms, and the introduction to verbals. If you weren't able to attend class, check out the worksheets we completed together.

Continue tackling these verbs and verbals at home this week! Or, if needed for the lower level students, backtrack to where you need to be and hone skills there.

Our IEW assignment is Lesson 23. Once again, we are responding to a prompt. This time, however, we are responding to literature, particularly a rewrite of the story "Seven in One Blow." The students' job is to decide and write whether the main character is admirable or not and to support their opinions with three examples from the story. I only assigned Level A, given that we only have one week and many are still working toward Memory Master.

Only one week left! Amazing! I will review all papers turned into me this week and return them next week with tickets. Please remind your student to bring the tickets he or she already has to class on Tuesday. Whereas we redeemed them in the fall for money to give, this time the kids get to receive cash for every ticket they've earned. They love this part!

See everyone Tuesday.
