Complex sentences were our focus of instruction today. After enjoying the 'Mad Scientist' activity yesterday, identifying independent and dependent clauses and MARK-ing the complex sentences kept us busy today. The excitement of sentence variety!

Skills:
Expanding sentences
Identifying clauses (dependent/independent)
Complex sentences
COPS editing/proof reading
Paragraph construction (topic and clincher sentences)

HOMEWORK:
Workbook pg. 47 - Follow the examples from page 46 to MARK your sentences correctly. We will check this tomorrow.
Read 20-30 minutes. Our goal is to read at least 100 pages a week. Students will complete a book report for each book and turn in when they have finished the book. Students have the book report handout and can start answering the questions as they read - Don't wait until the end!
