Introduction

Hello, grammarians! For this module, we will review our grammar standards. Today, we will be focusing on helping and linking verbs. 

Helping verbs are verbs that come before the main verb in the sentence.

Introduction

Hi Readers! Today we will be reviewing inferences. When a reader makes an inference, they have to think about what the author is saying in the text and then use background knowledge to make an inference. You can make inferences in everyday life, too!

For example, if you see someone eating something and then they make a face, then you can infer that the person does not like it.  If someone slams a door, we can infer that they are mad about something.

Introduction

This week we will be reviewing informational writing.

Our goal is to write an informational/explanatory piece in the time span of a week. We should not be spending more than 20 minutes a day on this work. 

Our first step is to peep the prompt, and then read the articles with the prompts in mind.

EXTENDED WRITING-RESPONSE WRITING TASK

Movies from the late 1800s and early 1900s are very different from the movies that can be seen and heard today. Movies made long ago did not have sound.

Think about the ideas in the two passages. Then write an informational/explanatory essay explaining how introducing sound changed the experience of watching movies.

Be sure to use information from BOTH passages as you write an informational/explanatory essay.


Writer’s Checklist
Be sure to:
• Introduce the topic clearly, provide a focus, and organize information in a way that makes sense.
• Use information from the two passages so that your essay includes important details.
• Develop the topic with facts, definitions, details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic.
• Identify the passages by title or number when using details or facts directly from the passages.
• Develop your ideas clearly and use your own words, except when quoting directly from the passages.
• Use linking words to connect ideas.
• Use clear language and vocabulary.
• Provide a conclusion that supports the information presented.
• Check your work for correct usage, grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
