We have been reviewing uses of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs within the context of our vocabulary work. This week we will take a close look at prepositions, those little words that pack a lot of responsibility in giving meaning to both oral and written language. Students will hopefully come to understand the ways in which parts of speech function and work together to produce effective communication.
In lieu of a final test on The Giver, I would like students to engage in one final activity that is hopefully meaningful and interesting to them by which they can demonstrate their understanding, analysis, and interpretation of the novel. I have suggested several options for a final assessment project, and they may work individually or with a partner. The instruction handouts are linked below.
This week will be a combination of work with prepositions and projects. The final project is due next Tuesday, March 5.
