Week 22: EEL may be work, but it is fun when we learn it together!

I believe the kids had a great class day today. They classified, diagrammed and QeQ'd our sentences SO well. I am quite impressed!

During our EEL time, we worked with the sentence pattern of the week: compound-complex S-Vl-PN & S-Vl-PA. In your time at home, you can continue working this pattern at your student's level, or you can backtrack to wherever you need to be. I believe next week we'll tackle verbals. Believe it or not, they will have much fun with these.

Because our IEW assignment is straightforward and not due until next week, we devoted almost our entire IEW time (and drill time, for that matter) to vocabulary review. The kids completed a matching worksheet, and then we played a game where we split into teams and they could either draw or dramatize a vocab word chosen from a bag -- basically pictionary and charades with IEW vocabulary. They seemed to relish it!

If you have any questions about EEL or IEW, please let me know. Otherwise, have a fantastic week and I'll see everyone Tuesday. I can't wait to hear their "Middle Age" perspectives on our 21st century!
