Lesson for Monday, January 5, 2015

Happy New Year to every student on 8-4!  I am away today at a workshop for Language Arts teachers at Old Berry School (which some of you may know as the location of Crossroads--yikes!). So I have video-ed today's lesson which is designed to make sure you know the four basic sentence types:

simple sentence

compound sentence

complex sentence

compound-complex sentence

The video lesson runs about twenty minutes. During the lesson you will watch me do some of the IXL problems that you will have to do AFTER you watch the video.  Once you've watched it, go to IXL 6th-grade, L.2.   Even if you've done this one before, I want you to do it again. (I will tell you all of this on the video.)  As always you must reach at least 90 percent on IXL.  When or if you get one wrong, be intelligent: figure out WHY you got it wrong before going on to the next one.  When the incorrect screen pops up, read what's below it in order to understand your error.  THIS EXERCISE WILL GO INTO THE GRADE BOOK!  So start your third 9-weeks with a GOOD GRADE!
