Brace Yourselves; A Phrase Quiz is Coming

Here is a link to the answers to last night's HW, which we checked, after attendance and a stretch.

Then, students performed a PREVIEW of tomorrow's phrase quiz. The preview was RVW B on page 121 of the purple grammar book. It looked like this:

This was graded in class, and the grade will be a x0 in GS.

Tomorrow's real Phrase Quiz will be delivered in the same format: a reading passage with phrases to identify, classify as Adj. or Adv., and discover the word(s) it modifies. The reading passage will be slightly more difficult.

Then we reviewed the 2nd Personal Narrative example: "The Long View". Click on the link to see an annotated text, as well as the answers to the questions, frequently accompanied by explanations.
