- Mods 2 and 6 worked on test revisions.
- Mods 1 and 3 did the following warm-up:
Read the paragraph. Write down all the action verbs. (Hint: There are 8)
- Sports experts write about the football player Jim Thorpe even today. Thorpe blocked like a tank. He tackled like a tornado. In every game, Thorpe attacked his opponents with all his might. He caught the ball skillfully and charged ahead fearlessly. Experts still remember and honor his greatness.
Lesson: Today the students learned about subject nouns and verbs. To find the subject noun of a sentence, you ask yourself, "Who or what is the sentence about?" To find the verb, you ask yourself, "What is the subject doing?" For example:
- The dog ran across the yard. (Dog would be the subject noun and ran would be the verb.)
Homework: None
