11/10/10 Class

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

  12. It's not as cold as I thought it would be today...

    Its form changes when exposed to oxygen, so be careful about taking it out of it's gas sealed case.

    One day I was walking, and then I was in a pile of slush because I fell into an open manhole while trying to text on my phone.

    Why are we going there? Isn't that place more far away than our original destination?
