ENGLISH - 1st trimester – Day 27
Quiet study time for today’s Prefix test (during attendance)
Take fill-in-the blank Prefix test
What do the following 7 words have in common?
1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess
No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters….
Write down these 7 labels into your NOTES:
o 1.when 2.who 3.which one 4.what kind 5.where 6.how 7.why
§ Then using your 35-word sentence from yesterday, LABEL the chunks using the 7 labels.
§ For example: Here’s a 35-word expansion example:
· In the middle of the sixth inning of a crucial game in last year’s pennant race, Jon, the league leader batting third, weakly but precisely hit on the nose the curve ball pitched with great velocity.
o NOTE: Writer answered WHEN (more specifically…of a crucial game etc.)? WHO (more specifically…batting third)? HOW? (weakly but precisely) WHERE? (on the nose) WHAT KIND? (the ball that was pitched with great velocity)?
o Remember, the rules of the game:
§ Must have a “c” that answers the question: “b” what = “c”
· “c” is usually a person, place, thing, or idea
§ You may NOT add additional “a,b,c”
o Expand your 35-word sentence into a 100-word sentence without losing the a,b,c (doer-doing-done to) structure.
o Here’s a 100-word expansion:
§ In the middle of the sixth inning of a crucial game in last year’s pennant race, Jon, the league leader batting third, weakly but precisely hit on the nose the ball pitched with great velocity by the sure-to-be Hall of Fame hurler who had won his last five starts in an overwhelming fashion while going the whole nine innings and who therefore presented an intimidating image to anyone facing him, especially as the shadows lengthened over the mound, obscuring the mechanics of his delivery and rendering it difficult even to see the spheroid as it curved its sinuous way toward the plate.
