IEW- Week 12 Poetry
Please share your writing from pictures assignment if you would like.
We're going to have some fun today with poetry.
To get the creative juices flowing let's start with an acrostic poem using our names. Write your name in bold letters down the side of a page, then describe yourself with adjectives starting with these letters. You may get ideas from your Student Resource Notebook.
Read the sample poem on pg 231 of USHBW.
Turn to Lesson 19 in your USHBW book on pg 137 where we will be working on a poem about America. Pick one to two adjectives for your noun (example: seahorses) and if you want to add another phrase choose that, of, or with and finish your thought, example "sunlit, sparkling seashores that speak to strangers."
Hopefully you can get a good start on this if not finish. I would love to hear your poems next year but no worries if you forget.
Merry Christmas! See you Next Year!

Week 12-EEL Almost Christmas!
Greetings all! Raise your hand if you're ready for a break.
Let's start with something fun.
This week we focus on our Compound structure, Interrogative purpose, and S-Vl-PA/S-Vl-PN pattern.
Who can tell me what a compound sentence is? A sentence consisting of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
Compound/Interrogative
Madie went to the store, and she went to the bank.
Is this a compound sentence? Why?
How can we change this into an interrogative?
Inflection-Madie went to the store and she went to the bank?
Interrogative pronoun-Who went to the store and who went to the bank?
Helping verb-Did Madie go to the store and did she go to the bank?
S-Vl-PN/S-Vl-PA
1)Who is holy, and who is alive?
Who can pick out our independent clauses?
Let's start with our first ind. clause.
Who is holy? Who (subject pronoun)
What's being said about who? is (verb)
Who is what? holy
Can holy replace or describe who? Yes, describe; holy is a predicate adjective, label verb linking
Label and as conjunction
Who is alive? Who (subj. pronoun)
What's being said about who? is (verb)
Who is what? alive
Can alive replace or describe who? yes, describe; alive is a predicate adjective, label verb linking
Who can diagram this?
2)Is Jesus God, and is Jesus King?
Go through the Question confirmation again, but this time we have a predicate nominatives instead of adjectives.
Who can diagram this for us?
