Good afternoon students!! What did you think of today's class? Hmm, not sure I really want to know the answer to that question; however, if you learned something, I'm so glad you did. I just wanted to go over a few things in case you missed it today.
Action Verbs: what the subject is doing in the sentence
Example: The dog chewed a hole in my shoe
What did the dog do? chew
Sentences: contain a subject and a predicate (verb)
Example: Your mother and I went shopping together yesterday.
Fragment: a part of a sentence; it's missing a subject, verb, or both
Example: went to the store
Hopefully, you'll be able to identify these on your test!
Thank You M'am by Langston Hughes
What do you think of our latest short story? It's always been one of my favorites, and Langston Hughes is a great author. Check out some of his poetry at http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/langston.html

See you tomorrow!!
The theme of Thank You Ma'am is good will and trust is stronger than mistrust
ReplyDeleteThe kindness and generosity of Mrs. Jones is what shocks Roger the most in the story. He didn't know people like her existed. Why would she give him the $10 when he tried to steal her purse? How would people today handle that kind of situation?
