Class on 4/26/17

Warm Up: Students practiced giving simple directions/commands to the whole class: "Stand up, sit down. Turn to the left, etc." Body language is key!

Workbook Pages 110 through 113 
Students learned about independent clauses and their opposites: subordinate clauses

  • when
  • after
  • because
  • if
Students practiced writing a draft Process paragraph. Students used the same topics on 106 (we already practiced Topic Sentences and Conclusions for the same). Example below (imperative verbs are circled):
