If your student is in one of my two Writing class, he/she has been keeping very busy! We've started the year with a short review of basic sentence structure and will be beginning a new sentence diagramming unit next week.
The first grammar test will be Aug 30/31. Students need to:
1 - Find and label the subject of the sentence
2 - Find and label the verb of the sentence
3 - Find and label compound subjects & compound verbs
4 - Be able to draw a vertical line between the complete subject (the subject & words related to it) and the complete predicate (the verb and words related to it)
We are also in the process of our first major writing project, a personal narrative (a story about yourself) about something that makes your student happy. So far, we have brainstormed for ideas, narrowed down our thoughts to one topic, created a graphic organizer of our story, and started writing the rough draft. We will begin typing the rough draft today, and a completed handwritten draft is due next Tues/Wed.
