Lesson: Today the students practiced identifying direct objects and object pronouns. The students made a chart on their desks. One colum was titled action verb, the other direct object, and the third object pronoun. I projected sentences and they picked out these parts of the sentence and added them to their chart. For example:
- Sentence: Samantha played volleyball last weekend.
- Verb: Played
- Direct Object: Volleball
- Object Pronoun: It
- New Sentence: Samantha played it last weekend.
Homework: None
