Verbs show action or state of being and every sentence must contain a verb. Nouns refer to people, places or things and can be proper or improper. Adjectives are used to describe nouns by adding details like color, size or other qualities. Students are asked to create a paragraph using verbs, nouns, and adjectives to practice these parts of speech.
Sentences with reduced clauses
This document provides instruction on how to use reduced adjective and adverb clauses in sentences. It explains that in a reduced adjective clause, the adjective connector and any following be-verb are omitted. If there is no be-verb, the connector is omitted and the verb is changed to the -ing form. For reduced adverb clauses, the connector remains but the subject and any be-verb are omitted. If there is no be-verb, the subject is omitted and the main verb is changed to the -ing form. Examples are given to illustrate proper use of reduced clauses.

16. future passive participle, gerunds, gerundives, and the passive periphrastic
The document discusses various Latin verb forms including the future passive participle, gerunds, gerundives, and the passive periphrastic. The future passive participle forms the passive counterpart to the future tense and is used to form the passive periphrastic construction. Gerunds are verbal nouns formed from the future passive participle that function as nouns rather than verbs. Gerundives are formed the same way but function as adjectives modifying other nouns. The gerundive construction is used when a gerund would normally take a direct object in English.
AP STYLE for Beginners
AP style is a set of standards for writing and formatting news that is used by journalists and publications to ensure consistency. It covers topics such as capitalization, dates, numbers, titles, and punctuation. Following AP style is important because it standardizes writing across different media platforms and publications. The stylebook provides guidelines for formatting months, dates, times, book and job titles, numbers, capitalization, quotes, apostrophes, and other elements of writing news and stories.
Voice Letter Assignment
The document provides instructions for a student to write a friendly letter from the perspective of their past English Language Arts teacher to their current ELA teacher. The letter should be 1-1.5 pages and discuss what the past teacher would say about the student as an ELA student, including what they liked/disliked in class, personality traits, memorable events, and potential warnings or praise for the student. Writing the letter from the teacher's perspective requires conveying their unique voice and personality to convince the current teacher it was written by the past teacher.

This document provides an overview of topics covered in a literature class, including non-fiction vs fiction, graphic novels, and identifying subjects and verbs in sentences. It discusses analyzing panels, captions, and text features in the graphic novel Persepolis. Students read chapters 1 and 9, analyzing images, text, and their relationship. A mini-quiz identifies parts of speech. Finding subjects asks "who/what" a sentence is about, and finding verbs asks "what" about the subject. Homework is to finish reading and do a review test.
