WHAT WE DID IN CLASS TODAY

What we did in class today. First of we started talking about graphic organizers we talked amongst our group. Then she started asking us for examples of graphic organizers. But then a confusing question appeared and because of that ms Lees got side tracked and the whole lesson was forgotten. We started talking about what makes a sentence and parts of a speech. Like for example we talked about. verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns pronouns and proper nouns. we talked about each one the we gave examples of each one. Ms Lees mentioned that she normally give this lesson in the beginning of the year but this year she must have forgotten. verb:an action word or a state of being ex jump,run, walk adjective: describes/modifies a noun ex: the ugly girl walked towards the handsome man. in this sentence there are two adjectives handsome and ugly adverb: describes/modifies a adjective a verb or an other adjective Ms Lees also mentioned that adverbs were tricky and that we would need to learn more about them ex:softly, carefully and loudly. noun:person place or thing. nouns are simple because we practiced them a lot in elementary unlike adverbs and pronouns and proper nouns ex: Paris,chair and pen. pronoun: takes the place of the noun ex: I you, me, ours and his. proper noun: a noun with a capital. ex: Paris, Vancouver and Sapeeda are all examples of proper nouns. I learned that the word run has 23 different definitions. After the lesson we watched a school house rock video on adverbs so that we get a better understanding of adverbs and after a bit of technical difficulties Ms Lees got the video working and now that song is stuck in my head and this is what we did today
LEARNING INTENTIONS
i think we did the graphical organizers because it had to do with note taking even though we didn't make it to the main point of the lesson i figured that it had to do with that. We did the other mini lesson on parts of a speech because there was a phrase on the board and none of us could tell if it was a sentence or not. we couldn't tell because it looked like a sentence but it was laking something that would complete it. And i figured that us being stuck on that question it jogged Ms Lees a little making her remember that we were supposed to have this lesson in the beginning of the year. We also need to have a better understanding on nouns, verbs, pronouns,noun,adjectives,proper nouns and adverbs
CONNECTIONS
The connections i made with this lesson was that i was one of the students a bit confused whether that phrase was a sentence or not. And i knew that i needed to grip this concept better because i didn't know what proper nouns were and what pronouns were. I didn't know what the parts of a speech where and was very confused until this lesson now i know that my grammar has improved since this lesson.
HOMEWORK
we had no homework
TIP/REMINDERS
I would suggest looking up the definition of graphic organizers because that is probably going to be our lesson for tomorrow
