Review: Nominative and Object Pronouns
What is a pronoun? Function words that are used in the place of a noun. Example: Juan bought a red car. He bought a red car. He bought it.

Pronouns replace nouns in sentences
Nominative (subject) pronouns take the place of the subject in a sentence. Sarah sings in the choir. She sings in the choir. Object pronouns take the place of the object in the sentence. Maria bought the candy bar. Maria bought it Nominative and object pronouns usually have nouns, called antecedents, to which they refer. Ante = before

Our animated film was nominated for an Academy Award
Our animated film was nominated for an Academy Award. Much to our surprise, it won. It is the nominative pronoun taking the place of the noun film. The artists needed drawings and sketches to help them build the sculptures. Them is an object pronoun taking the place of the noun artists, which is the antecedent.

Chose it: Nominative and Object Pronouns
Open your I-Book to page 149 Read the directions and complete the exercise. Remember: not every pronoun in this activity has an antecedent.

Pronoun Usage in Compounds
Open your student textbook to page H74 Nominative (subject) pronouns are used as subjects and complements. Object (object) pronouns are used as direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions.

Incorrect: Him and the ogre lived in the swamp.
Correct: He and the ogre lived in the swamp. Why? The pronoun is part of the compound subject, so the nominative form must be used. Incorrect: The team of artists create the ogre and she. Correct: The team of artists created the ogre and her. Why? The pronoun is part of the compound direct object, so the object form should be used.

Chose it: Subject Pronoun or Object Pronoun
Open your I-Book to page 150 Read the directions and complete the activity.

Avoiding Double Subjects
You should avoid using a subject pronoun after a subject noun. Incorrect: Fiona she is a kind ogre. Correct: Fiona is a kind ogre. Why? Fiona is the subject of the sentence. The use of she after Fiona creates a double subject, which is an error in English.

White Boards On your white boards write “YES” on one side and “NO” on the other. I am going read you some sentences and you will tell me if it has a double subject. If it has a double subject hold up “YES” and if it does not hold up “NO.”

“The Tech of Shrek: Imagination Animated”
Have you seen the movie “Shrek?” You are going to read a nonfiction article about Shrek. This selection is similar to something that you might read in a magazine. Do you like reading magazine? What is challenging about reading out of a magazine? Magazine articles usually have pictures and graphics on the page. Magazines also include sidebars which are boxes that contain special features or additional information that support and extend the information in the body of the main text. Graphics, sidebars, and text all work together to present information, and it is important to read and view each in order to understand the selection.

Open your student textbook to page 144-147
Read the title and heading of the selection. Look at each of the photographs, read the captions, and think about the information that each photograph conveys. Read the captions under each photograph. Read the headings in the sidebar. Now read the selection.

Answer It: Using Graphics and Sidebar Information

Internet Search You can find quite a bit more information about Shrek on the internet. Search for information about the making of Shrek. After finishing researching you will compare the information that you found online with what you read in the textbook.

Lesson 2

Review: Stressed Syllables and Schwa
Stress is the emphasis that syllables have in words. If a syllable is stressed, the vowel is usually long or short. If the syllable is not stressed, the vowel may be reduced. This reduced sound is called schwa. Schwa sounds like /u/ but is even more reduced.

Vowel Chart Open your I-Book to page R4
Find the schwa on your vowel chart Look at the words under the schwa sign.

Schwa Schwa is often found in the unstressed syllable of a two syllable word. Example: lesson elect circus Schwa often occurs in words beginning or ending with a. Example: about Schwa often occurs in an unaccented syllable of a multi syllable word. Example: definition

Review: Possessive and Demonstrative Pronouns
What are pronouns? Words that replace nouns What do you think a possessive pronoun is? A pronoun that shows ownership or possession. Example: The new DVD of the movie is mine.

Any guesses about what a demonstrative pronoun is?
They are pronouns used to point out specific persons, places, or things without stating the noun. These pronouns convey a sense of distance (in time and space). Examples: this, that, these, and those

This is our animation director, Mr. Rodriguez.
This and its plural these are used to point out someone or something that is near to you. That and its plural those are used to point out someone or something that is at a distance from you. Examples: This is our animation director, Mr. Rodriguez. In this sentences Mr. Rodriguez is nearby and is currently the animation director. Those are the sculptures of the characters in the movie.

Text Coherence Through Transitional Words and Phrases

Directions: In the following sentences identify the transitional word or phrase and I will underline it and also tell me what the relationship conveys. In addition to being enormous, Shrek, the ogre-hero, is green, grumpy, and ill-mannered. Consequently, moviegoers wanted more Shrek. Although the movie Shrek appears to be telling a simple story, it was challenging to make. For example, the flowing of Fiona’s green velvet gown and every blade of grass had to move so that they looked completely real. The filmmakers started by imagining how the original story could be make into a movie, and then conceived of new and different characters and scenes. In summary, the filmmakers had a winning idea.

Degrees of Adjectives Adjective endings can signal comparison between nouns or pronouns. There are three degrees of comparison: adjective, comparative, and superlative. The suffix –er signals comparison between two nouns or pronouns. The suffix –est signals comparison among three or more nouns or pronouns. More and most are used before multi syllable adjectives to make the comparative and superlative forms of those adjectives.

Large Larger Largest Imaginative More imaginative Most imaginative

Comparative Sentence Structure
A sentence that has a comparative adjective or phrase should be completed with a phrase or clause beginning with than. Incomplete comparison: This raven appears larger than Complete comparison: This raven appears larger than that one.

The two words than and then are often times misused because they look alike and can sound alike.
Use this mnemonic to help: “then tells when”

Then indicates time order
Then indicates time order. It can be used to tell when one thing happens after another, or in a summary of what has been said. Than can function as a preposition or a conjunction. It is often used to like two parts of a comparison. When than is used in a comparative structure, it functions as a conjunction. First the raven tapped at the window. Then it sat on the bust over the door. Each repetition of the word nevermore was scarier than the previous one.

Review: Features of a Persuasive Essay
Goal: make a strong case for a particular position, and, if possible, win over others to your way of thinking. Persuasive writing often appeals to readers’ logic, emotions, and/or ethics.

Logical Appeal A logical appeal involves presenting facts and reasonable explanations.

Emotional Appeal An emotional appeal might involve trying to tap into readers’ fears or their desire for something. For example, to support an argument for bicycle helmets, a writer might tell a story about a bicycle accident in which someone was seriously injured.

Ethical Appeal An ethical appeal might involve trying to tap into readers’ basic values- their sense of what is right and wrong. For example, someone writing to defend freedom of speech in a particular situation might make the argument that freedom of speech is a basic right that everyone deserves and that the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects.
