November 10 - November 13
Grade 7
*We will not have vocabulary this week
To begin the week, students will focus on correcting sentence fragments by expanding them into sentences. Students will also correct run-on sentences by changing them into separate sentences or compound sentences. We will take this concept a step further on Thursday and Friday when students combine simple sentences into compound sentences and combine sentences into complex sentences by using subordinating conjunctions. Throughout the week students will participate in writing assignments that require them to apply what they are learning.
