Week 14 Recap & Suggested Assignments

~~GRAMMAR~~
Sentence Structure: Complex    Sentence Purpose: Imperative     Sentence Pattern: S-Vt-IO-DO

EEL Model Sentence: Make me a crown when I give you my heart.

Remember that when we have an imperative sentence the verb mood (the way a verb expresses action) changes (we've been in the indicative mood) to the imperative mood and we are always in the 2nd person in English. 
Verb Mood:
Indicative: most commonly used & is found in declarative & interrogative sentences
Imperative: found in imperative sentences (states command or request but may imply a sense of uncertainty
Subjunctive: used to imply a condition

Verbs - Active or Passive
When are verbs are in the ACTIVE voice - the subject is performing the action.    My dog loves me.
When we change the verb to PASSIVE voice the subject is the receiver of the action.  Our direct object becomes the subject. The passive voice uses the past participle part of a verb and a conjugated form of "to be".   I am being loved by my dog.
Studying the verb anatomy charts will help in this area, so study up!

~~WRITING~~
Lesson 15.  Today we started our mini-research paper.  We talked about when using 2 source texts, you must first review each and list the topics discussed, pick your topics, then KWO each source.  Once you KWO each source you fuse those into 1 outline for the paragraph. In class we we looked at the 2 sources on p. 110-111, chose our topics from each. We picked 3 topics and completed a KWO for that topic from each source.  We then fused those 2 outlines into 1 source (p112).
