Mini-Lesson/Exercise: Subjects and Predicates. Cameron did a nice job on this review. He was able to correctly identify the subject and predicate in 9/9 opportunities. Writing complete sentences (he wrote 3 creative sentences when given a sentence fragment).
We read "Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyons. We discussed how the author uses the word "from" to represent more than just a specific place, rather, places, experiences, and people who have shaped us to be who we are. We discussed how these influence our personality/identity. Next, Cameron began to brainstorm for his own "Where I'm From" poem. After finishing, he started on his rough draft.
