Success Spiral Tuesday, November 27

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 1 st period: Work through the question.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. First we have to read sentences 1 and 2.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. First we have to read sentences 1 and 2. Since all of the answer choices combine these two sentences, we have to figure out which way of combining them is most correct, simple, and economical.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. Let’s read choice A. It starts with the word since. Since indicates a cause and effect relationship. Is my grandfather patient BECAUSE I admire him? No, so we can’t choose A.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. Let’s read choice B. It is straightforward. It gets the because in the right place (I admire him BECAUSE he is patient, and not the other way around.) Overall, not bad, but let’s read C and D, too, just to make sure.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. Let’s read choice C. The first problem with C is the word which. Not only do we not need a word there at all, a better choice would be “whom” since we’re referring to a person. The second problem with C is the word “for”. “For” is one way to say “because” or “since”, but it is a weak way that could be misinterpreted. The third problem with C is “and I know works hard.” It would need to start with a comma and say, “I know he works hard.”

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 1 2 nd period: Go over the work you did during first and discuss answers and strategies. Let’s read choice D. Whoa!! That is a run-on sentence times 3!!!! There are three complete sentences here all squeezed into one: “I admire my grandfather” “He is patient” “He works hard” The only separation between the sentences is the word “and”. “And” is NOT ENOUGH to separate two sentences correctly. That leaves us with the perfectly adequate answer B.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question # 2 3 rd period: Work through the question.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 2 4 th period: Go over the work you did during 3 rd and discuss answers. First we have to read sentences 4 and 5.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 2 4 th period: Go over the work you did during 3 rd and discuss answers. Let’s read choice A. There is nothing wrong with A. It simply combines the two sentences with “, and” (comma and). Let’s read the other choices to see if there is possibly a less wordy choice.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 2 4 th period: Go over the work you did during 3 rd and discuss answers. Let’s read choice B. Awkward. Repetitive. Let’s check for a better answer.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 2 4 th period: Go over the work you did during 3 rd and discuss answers. Let’s read choice C. One reason for combining sentences is to keep from repeating words unnecessarily. Choice C has “include” in it twice. Also, “which also includes cars and farm machines” comes right after “indoor plumbing” which makes it sound like indoor plumbing is what includes cars and farm machines. That’s not what we’re trying to say.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 2 4 th period: Go over the work you did during 3 rd and discuss answers. Let’s read choice D. Simple. Direct. No errors. Is choice D better than choice A? Yes, because D is not repetitive. Let’s pick D.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 5 th period: Work through the question.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 6 th period: Go over the work you did during 5 th First we have to read sentences 6-8. These sentences are not incorrect, but they are choppy and could sound better if they were combined.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 6 th period: Go over the work you did during 5 th Let’s read A. I like it. It combines all three sentences with no errors. It organizes the thought with “although”.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 6 th period: Go over the work you did during 5 th Let’s read B. Oops! I see an error. This is a run-on! There has to be a comma before the second “and” to be correct. Remember, AND by itself is not enough to correctly separate two complete sentences. There also has to be a comma.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 6 th period: Go over the work you did during 5 th Let’s read C. Choice C combines the sentences with the help of the word “while”. However, we aren’t trying to emphasize that at the time he persevered he had little money and lacked farm equipment. We want to emphasize that he persevered despite having little money or farm equipment.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31, question # 3 6 th period: Go over the work you did during 5 th Let’s read D. Oops! Another run-on!!!!! AND is not enough to separate two complete sentences!!! You also have to have a comma!!!, Looks like we’re left with A.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 7 th period: Answer question #4.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 8 th period: Go over your work. First we have to read sentences 11 and 12.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 8 th period: Go over your work. Let’s read A. We can’t choose A because the sentence has no subject or predicate.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 8 th period: Go over your work. Let’s read B. This sentence is in the wrong order. “To get the fire started” needs to be after “more” in order to make sense.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 8 th period: Go over your work. Let’s read C. I don’t see anything wrong with this one.

Tuesday, November 27, "My Hero" Lesson 31 question #4 8 th period: Go over your work. Let’s read D. We can’t pick D because of the word BECAUSE. The wood, grass, or rice stalks weren’t damp BECAUSE it took him thirty minutes or more to get the fire started. Just the opposite is true. Looks like we’re left with C.
