Students will complete their Formative Self-Assessments today. The purpose of this assessment is to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work. This assessment will also help your teacher recognize where you are struggling and address problems that you may have.
Students will also work on a writing skill today with Concluding Sentences. A good concluding sentence closes a paragraph. Sometimes it tells the reader the main idea again. It does not add new information.
Students will also learn about Infinitives of Purpose today. An infinitive is to + the base form of the verb, and it can come after the verbs like, want, and need. Another way you can use an infinitive is to give a purpose for someone’s action. An infinitive of purpose explains why someone does something. Example: She lies to her child to be nice. (Why does she lie? Her purpose is to be nice). Students will be given an assignment to practice using infinitives of purpose. We will correct it together.
