Are You Reading This Blog?

Tonight for homework you are supposed to do page 156 Prepositional Phrases. Make sure to put a parenthesis around the prepositional phrase and label as we did today. Remember the prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun as the object of the preposition. The only part of speech that can come between the preposition and its object is an adjective. Remember to underline the subject once and the predicate (verb) twice.

Parts of Speech Review

Today we took notes reviewing six of the eight parts of speech. Since we worked on prepositional phrases this week through the use of poetry, we discussed nouns, adjectives,adverbs conjunctions, pronouns and interjections. While Mrs. Jaggers began conferencing with students individually about their transition essays, we worked on a "Parts of Speech Review." We also saw that some words can be used as more than one part of speech. The word "train" for example can be a noun or a verb. If this review sheet has not been completed, it is to be completed over the weekend.

Students in my last period ELA class must fix their transition essays for Monday. Please return the final copy of your essay and your TORSO.
