Grade 7
The vocabulary words for this week are assumption, consume, presumptuous, sumptuous, rapture, and rapidity. The vocabulary test will be on Friday.
This week students will finish working on run-on sentences. On Wednesday, we will begin combining sentences into complex sentences by using subordinating conjunctions. This is the last topic in the current unit so students will participate in review for a test early next week. As of now, I plan on having the test on Tuesday. The test will cover kinds of sentences, complete subjects and complete predicates, simple subjects and simple predicates, finding the subject, conjunctions, fragments, and run-ons. Students will be allowed to take graphic organizers and notes out of their classroom folders to take home to study.
