WEEK 23
EEL
I passed out SMARTIES for those here on time.
REVIEW: The students started off their day with a question: Who is the luckiest noun in town? That is right, the IO. WHY is the IO the luckiest noun in town? It receives lots of DOs! :)
We took time to look at Adverbs: An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. An adverb answers these questions:
How? When? Where? Why? How often? How much? To what extent? Under what condition?
TAKE NOTE FROM CHART I: There are two groups of adverbs: One-word adverbs (4 types) and Multi-word adverbs (phrases and clauses)
One-word adverbs:
SIMPLE= no suffix needed. Pull hard! Hard answers how. Hard modifies the verb Pull.
FLEXIONAL = is formed by adding -ly to an adjective. He ran slowly. Slowly answers how.
NEGATIVE = expresses a negative condition. She never talks to strangers. Never tells how often.
AFFIRMATIVE = expresses affirmative condition. Yes, I am. Yes = affirmative adverb because it answers to what extent am I going,affirmative condition.
Multi-word adverbs:
ADVERBIAL PHRASE= phrase used as a single adverb. The Bible was written for our benefit. Prepositional phrase for our benefit answers why.
ADVERBIAL CLAUSE = clause used as a single adverb in the sentence. (Used in complex sentences. We will get into these in the weeks to come.) He ran as if his life depended upon it. The clause, as if his life depended upon it, modifies the verb ran and answers the question how. www.asia.wub, it is an adverbial clause.
Diagramming an adverb: reminder what is an adverb modifying? A VERB in most cases, so it will go under the verb, or the word it is modifying.
DIALECTIC:
THEN we played a COMBINATION GAME. The kiddos had to draw 3 elements that make up the COMBO of 3. (Structures, Patterns, and Purposes) The kiddos worked in two teams to build a sentence AND then walked us through Tasks 1-4.

IEW
REVIEW: We debriefed our FOH night. The kids were so chill about it all. :) I think we are all glad it is behind us.
DIALECTIC: UNIT 9: Formal Critique using a Character Analysis using TRIAC, the Swiss army knife for writing.
TOPIC: This sentence indicates what the paragraph will be about.

ANALYZE: In more than one sentence, explain how the example or quote proves the point made in the “restrict” sentence.
