turn down the what?

Grammar


We reviewed Adverbs and several of your homework pages from last week since so many seem to miss “many” of the adjectives on your pages.

Next week, we’ll have an Adverb/Adjective test to confirm your understanding in class.

HISTORY:

I have copied part of the attached homework below. In regards to the Living Museum (that was disclosed in the syllabus), PLEASE do not go to too much trouble, spend too much money, or otherwise stress over the costume that your child wears at the Expo. I do want each child to at least have one prop or accoutrement (I do remember some French!) appropriate for the person they are portraying. For example, if your child is portraying Jackie Robinson, then they should at least carry a glove and bat (and wear plain clothes if no costume is worn). Let me know if you have questions...


o   Pick an American historical figure for our end of the year Living Museum. This person can be male or female, alive or deceased. I am looking for people who have positively impacted our country. Please no actors/singers/athletes UNLESS they have done things outside of their art that fits the criteria (ex: Shirley Temple). Email me for approval if you are not sure. Begin working on the words you will say as you portray your historical figure. I would like your “speech” to last one to two minutes. Include some biographical info and the ways America has been positively impacted by this person. Turn in your “speech” on white notecards (any size) on Thursday, April 21st. You will need to have your “speech” memorized by Thursday, April 28th. Be prepared to present during the Living Museum from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Cornerstone Expo on Monday, May 9th.
o   Remember to be studying for the year-end (end of school year) states test. You will have to fill in a blank map of the United States with the name of each state, the name of its capital and the postal abbreviation – all spelled and capitalized correctly. This test will be taken in class on Thursday, May 5th.

You're cooler than the Eleventh Doctor...AND the Tenth too! Alons-y!

Your homework is a little heavier this week, but I’ll try to lighten up next.

Here are our class notes:
Present Tense never has a helping verb.  She speaks. He speaks. They speak. We speak.

Past Tense indicates that time has passed by.  “Yesterday”   He walked. She walked. They walked. We walked.

Future Tense  indicates time has yet to occur.  It always has a helping verb.  I will run.  She will run.  He shall run.  They shall run.
 
Verbs - Transitive and Intransitive?
Transitive will have a direct object.  Transitive = D.O. - She busted the vase.

Intransitive will not have a direct object. - We charged for the laser tag facility.

Indirect Objects receives some Direct Objects.

                      I.O.     D.O,
Mom baked Susie brownies.

If there is an indirect object, there must be a direct object.
