🟩Module 9 - W3 - Day 1 - ELA
Lesson Instructions
You will go through all lessons (grammar, reading, and writing).
GRAMMAR
Introduction
This week, we will start by reviewing prepostions.
Prepositions often answer the questions "where?" and "when?"
The "where?" question is also called Prepositions of Space or Location. They help us understand where an object is located in a space.
Is the book under the table? No.
Is the book on the table? Yes.
The words "under" and "on" are both prepositions! They help us understand the location of the book in relation to the table.
Video/Visual
In Your Notebook:
Locate an object near you. Describe the location of it using three prepositional phrases.
For example,
The soda can is next to the computer. It is on top of the table, but under the ceiling.
READING
Introduction
When we are reading, writing, and speaking about a topic, we often have to use specific vocabulary to sound like experts in that topic. These words are not in our regular everyday vocabulary, but they deal with a particular subject or domain. There are three levels of our vocabulary, as shown in the video below.
