I apologize for posting this late. The students worked very hard today practicing with pronouns by completing pages 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, and 126 in their grammar workbooks. I was able to help students as needed during class time. The homework was to complete those pages. Since I posted this late, I will allow students to turn in unfinished work on Monday.

Today students began to work with pronouns in the nominative and objective case. We also discussed possessive pronouns. This requires some studying, but is not too difficult. We will work with this for a few days to ensure the students master the work.
HW: None, but it might be a good idea to review your notes daily.

I hope that everyone had a restful and enjoyable long weekend. It was great to see everyone today; we had a busy day. We examined a few good cause-effect essays and then moved on sentence complements, which include direct and indirect objects, predicate nouns, predicate adjectives and predicate pronouns. We are just beginning our study of this and expect to spend about 3 to 5 days with this.
HW: Study for a quiz on misplaced modifiers-p. 476, double negatives-p. 478, and degrees of adjectives-p.558. The quiz will be tomorrow, 2/21/07.
