1st trimester – Day 39
WARMUP:
- After I check your puzzle and answer key, exchange them at your tables and try to solve them without the answer key.
- Discussed the “clues” in each other’s puzzles that helped us assemble them in the proper “well-organized” order
Completed ex. 7 from Writer’s Choice book page 638 (include SURE or UNSURE)
Next, we discussed and took notes on the trick for deciding when to use “who vs. whom”
We returned to ex. 7 and checked our answers using the who, whom trick
Did the same for Whoever, Whomever…took additional notes on the trick to determine proper use of “whomever vs. whoever” – practiced identification with overhead “Exercise 8: Whoever and Whomever”
Watched short clip from “The Office”
