Great class today! All of your grammar skills seem to be improving rapidly. I’m so glad, particularly since next week, we’ll review commas in class and then take a quiz. Have your parents look over your comma usage to make sure you understand how to use them effectively.
We reviewed some comma usage, capitalization, quotation marks, and underlining. Here’s a website about italics and underlining…http://grammar.
Short stories, poems, chapters of books, and songs are all placed in quotation marks, i.e. “Amazing Grace.” (if it’s written)
Books, magazines, albums, and movies are underlined, i.e The Lion King.
We’ll complete p. 637 of Easy Grammar in class so don’t worry about completing that one.

Write a three to five paragraph speech about a cause that is important to you. Organize your thoughts logically and use clear language. Give reasons for your ideas and examples that support them. Practice reading your speech out loud to your family and be prepared to give your speech in class. If you have difficulty choosing a topic or writing the speech, you may ask your parents for assistance, or email me at 5hoods1416@bellsouth.net.
