A compound sentence is a sentence composed of two or more more independent clauses but no subordinate clause.
Instead of writing TWO sentences such as: Today is the first day of August. It is Monday. You would write:
Today is Monday, and the first day of August.
THE TASK: Write 3 COMPOUND SENTENCES about any topic or topics you like.
EXAMPLE:
1. I went to see Motley Crue in concert last weekend, and I'm going to see Whitesnake in three weeks.
2. Today I'm taking my kids to IHOP, but we have to clean the house first.
3. I spoke to Mr. Watson yesterday; we planned to get together with Mr. Fernandez before the summer is over.
GOOD LUCK!!

Do we only do 5 questions for summer reading? Also, could we read 2 books that are not on the list?
ReplyDeleteHey Vani....
ReplyDeleteComplete 5 questions from each book...but you should take some notes because you will be allowed to use anything you do on the assessment in September.
You can choose books off the list, but they need to be age appropriate and something you think I would approve.
Thanks for the questions...see ya soon....ha ha.
Off to Dutch Wonderland tomorrow with Brody V & Sienna..and of course Mrs. Vergara.
HAVE FUN!!! :D And thank you!
ReplyDeleteFor some of my books I forgot to take notes. Does it matter, or do I need to read it over again?
ReplyDeleteJenn, you can write down some basic notes now based on what you remember...if you do not remember the main plot, characters, conflicts, and resolutions - then yes, you may want to read your books again.
ReplyDeleteTaking notes is just a useful tool to reinforce what you're learning about (in this case, the book you're reading).
Hope everyone is doing well....

Lisset - just make sure you read two grade level books and we'll figure the details later. If you really want to pick a book of the list, come to school and the main office should be able to get you a copy. In fact, I would imagine it's on our website somewhere....either way - JUST READ and you can't go wrong.
