Hello Everyone!
Today we will be reviewing the chapters you read for homework, Water Seeks Its Own Level and Cherrybomb. You will be doing a writing assignment the second half of class.
Here's the warm-up for today:
Its and It's
It's is a abbreviation for "It" and "is"
Ex: It's a nice day, isn't it?
Its is the possessive of "it'
Ex: That is Sarah's puppy but I don't know its name
Than and Then
Than: (conjunction) word used to compare two or more people, places, things, or ideas
Ex: Sarah is older than Alex
Then: (adverb) at that time
Ex: I then told him that he was doing the right thing
Your assignment: Write a sentence using each word correctly (It's, it's, than, then). Post your sentences as a comment to this post.
HW: Read through page 118. REMEMBER we do not meet again until next Monday so you will have plenty of time to get the reading finished.
Thanks!
Ms. Snyder
