8th grade: Today in Language Arts-Grammar

All students read in their books for 10 minutes. Today begins Week 8 for the Reading Folders. All first drafts of short stories were collected.

I introduced the three types of verbals to students. The first verbal-infinitives-was the center of our focus today. Students took notes on the definition of an infinitive and then generated examples of infinitives. In groups, students worked on a worksheet to identify infinitives and infinitive phrases. We reconvened at the end of the hour to share our answers.

Homework: Continue to read in your independent book to meet the 150 page requirement.
