Week 7 EEL

We started out with our prayer then went on to cover Adverbs, S-Vt-Do in the Imperative, and the Compound sentence structure.

Review
We reviewed Chart A by handing out a blank piece of paper and challenging the kids to write down as much of Chart A as they could.
Volunteers come up to diagram.
Julia loves animals.
Elijah studies grammar.
Calli feeds Presley.

Compound, Imperative, S-Vt-DO
We know what a compound sentence is, right? What is it?
What about an imperative?
And tell me about S-Vt-DO.
Today, we are going to put all of these together.

Let's start with the imperative. How would we change our 3 example sentences into imperative?
Love animals. Study grammar. Feed Presley.
*Remember the understood you!
Who loves? Loves what?
How would we diagram these?

Compound
Let's make these into compound sentences.
Example: Love animals and study grammar. Feed Presley but...
.....so......(students give examples)

What if we want to make sure that the person we are addressing understands that we are talking to them?
Julia, love animals. Elijah, study grammar. Calli, feed Presley.
What do we call this term? Noun of Direct Address.
How would we diagram these? *Remember NDA's hover like UFO's

What about an appositive? An appositive is a noun (or pronoun) directly beside another noun which explains or identifies it.
Example: My dog Rover eats biscuits.
Rover is identifying the noun dog and it's beside it.
How do we diagram this?
We put the appositive in parenthesis next to the noun.

Adverbs:
Now let's talk about adverbs. Who can tell me what an adverb is?
Let's get out our song sheets and review this a few times.
An adverb is used to modify a verb, adjective or another adverb
It answers the questions How? When? Where? and Why?
How often? How much? and Under what condition?
Don't forget To What extent?
(sung to the tune of the I Love You song from Barney)

So adverbs answer the questions:
How, When, Where, Why, How often, How much, To what extent, and Under what condition?
Let's look at Chart I. Review Chart.

Most of the time adverbs give themselves away with their -ly but they can be phrases or clauses.

Let's add some adverbs to our sentences.
Have kids pick adverbs to add to example sentences such as:
Julia loves animals continually.
Elijah studies grammar reluctantly. etc.
How do we diagram adverbs?
Show that the adverb is written on a slanted line hanging off the word it modifies.
