Men's Shirts On The Clothesline And Newly Painted Trim On The Gregg's House Were The Two Examples Of Foreshadowing In Chapter 10. Bookmark For Chapters 11-12 Look Good!

For homework over the weekend, think of a courageous person or character from a book you have read. The person can be real ( a family member who has battled an illness) or a character from a fictitious piece of literature. We have already written poems so now we will write a long composition explaining how this person has demonstrated courage.

All you have to do is write down 5 reasons why your person is courageous; nothing more!

ENJOY HOMECOMING!!!!!

Great Job, Today! Great Work With Figurative Language!

Today we introduced prepositions and prepositional phrases. We also reviewed homework from Monday night.

Tonight, we underline the subject once and the predicate twice on the back of the Simple Subjects and Predicates Sheet, THEN, put parenthesis around the prepositional phrases and label them.

 If you are in Period One, you DON'T have to label the prepositional phrases.

For Friday of this week, label one bookmark for both chapters.

We'll do a review of the book tomorrow to make sure everyone is understanding the book IKWYDLS.
