**This week starts our "tasks" (p 67 - getting Dialectic @ Home Work) - work through sample sentences - 1st 3 are 'basic" & 4-5 are advanced. (My suggestion for newer/younger students is to start with basic sentences and move up when ready; advanced - 2nd & 3rd year - work through 1 basic, do both advanced & have student try to come up with their own to work through)
Corresponding OMT Lessons: 1, 28-33
CHALLENGE: Using this week's sentence pattern & purpose (simple, S-vi, Declarative & Exclamatory) create 4 sentences - (2 using pronouns) & using your mastery charts/trivium tables - list all the information you can about the nouns & pronouns in your sentences (i.e. nouns=common/proper; concrete/abstract etc.) - MOMS - YOU SET THE GOAL AS TO HOW MUCH YOU WANT THEM TO LIST (remember you'll keep track of challenges & points earned) ***5 POINTS****
~~WRITING~~
1. Cut out & learn Vocab from lesson 3
WEDNESDAY:
- Finish KWO p 22
- Working through your KWO, reconstruct a DRAFT of your paragraph
- You're an artist Painting With Your Words, so fill your cranium with as many mental images as you can. Jot down what comes to mind when you browse those pictures, because they will be a jumping-off place as you decide on rich, descriptive vocabulary. Remember those sentence openers & 5 sense adjectives we discussed in class! Highlight all your verbs in 1 color and nouns/pronouns in another. (Read p31 for ideas on words that appeal to the senses)
- Armed with knowledge and visuals, begin to add those quality adjectives, strong ACTION verbs, ly words, alliteration & sentence openers. For those students who are familiar with other stylistic techniques - add those in! Don't forget about vocab too!!
- Type your final paper & bring it in to class on Tuesday
REMEMBER - YOU'RE PAINTING A PICTURE WITH WORDS - GET COLORFUL!!!! :)
