We have reviewed sentence types and sentence kinds in addition to parts of speech and verb tenses. Hopefully, we will be well-prepared for the MCAS test when it arrives but also prepared for the grammar and writing that awaits you in the eighth grade.
We also read chapter five today and have a clearer picture of the racism demonstrated toward Cassie Logan, TJ, and Stacey in Strawberry, Mississippi. It was difficult for the children to understand why Big Ma had to park her wagon "in the back" when she arrived to sell her cheese, milk and eggs in Strawberry. Chapter 5
ended with Cassie devastated by wht Big Ma made her do to Lillian Jean and Mr. Simms. Think about it. How humiliating!! If you are not understanding any of this chapter, PLEASE check out the book summary in the sparknotes I sited at the beginning of the book.
Homework is the Verb Phrases/Verb Tense sheet and the template for the personal poem.
Have a super weekend!!
