Pronouns

Introduction

Pronouns are words that replace nouns. 

Today, we will review the relative pronouns "who, whose, and whom."

Introduction

This week our focus is going to be on text structures. Author's use text structure to organize and focus their text. Today, we will be focusing on the chronological text structure.

"Chron" means time and "logic" means ideas. Chronological texts are ideas written in time order, or sequence.

To Do:

In Your Notebook:  Read a nonfiction text. Is it chronological? How do you know?
