ELA ~ Ms. Kirk ~ March 21-25, 2016

This week we will review over coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.  We will go over and work with correlative conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs.  The students will incorporate correlative conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs into a simple writing project.  The rest of the week our focus will be on interjections and how they stand alone.  An interjection does not interact with other parts of speech. Students will diagram sentences and show the the different parts of speech and the relationships they participate in.  Examples:  a conjunction joins two words or two groups of words and a noun agrees with its verb
