Verbs, exploration & RAFT

Today we talked about helping verbs and main verbs and how when they come together it makes a verb phrase. Students have a helping verb practice sheet for homework. Then, we assessed our work on our pen pal letters and then turned them in. Miss Devine will send these off during the break.

Then, we reviewed the topic of exploration that we began reading about yesterday and we reviewed key figures of exploration. Miss D. explained the RAFT assignment that students will be working on over the break. Students chose their ROLE, Audience, and format and began brainstorming for this writing assignment. We will work more on the RAFT assignment in class tomorrow and the rest will be completed over the break.

Homework: Helping verb practice sheet.
