Presentation transcript:

What is a pronoun? (We did this earlier this year) Pronouns What is a pronoun? (We did this earlier this year)

IF a pronoun is a word that replaces a noun (a person, place, or thing)… What is a possessive pronoun? Use your prior knowledge (or if you don’t know, guess your best!) and make the following pronouns possessive: You Me She Him Us 1 minute End

Check your answers You  Your Me My She Hers Him  His Us  Ours

Use this knowledge to complete the Grammar worksheet (On Wednesday and Friday, we will work on identifying these mistakes in sample essays— it is a common mistake for everyone from 4th graders to college professors)

Your It’s Whose Who’s Their Its They’re 11. It’s 12. You’re 13. Whose 14. Who’s 15. Its 16. Your 17. Their 18. They’re 19. Whose 20. You’re

Work With your group members Get five definitions (for your big packet) that you didn’t already have from another group member You only have five minutes!

Work With Your Group Members: Identify 10 words that none of you have. Divide the unknown words evenly among your group Each person should use the scrap paper provided and define their share of words on that piece of paper Then, rotate each person’s scrap paper around so that everyone has all ten definitions the time the bar below reaches orange

Read Around Please take an article from the middle of your table group. Read it and respond to it on the provided worksheet in the appropriate space. As you learn interesting facts, post them! When you learn something you did not know and find shocking or interesting, write it on a post it note and stick it to the board. We will have ten minutes at each section (the longer articles are to be read over two or more sections)

Share with me: Did you notice a difference between the passages you read when you had the words defined for you vs when they were not defined? What kinds of books do you think naturally come with “guides” like this?
