Agenda
Planner/prep
Bellwork: Create a new 3-space bellwork page in your IAN then…
Write 4 sentences in the indicative mood (they state a fact) about Mondays.Lesson: Review rotations (as follows)

• Group 1: In your group, using the table from last week’s bellwork notes, rewrite the sentences on page 30, numbers 1-4 as imperative sentences. They should be a command or request when you’re done.

Create an IAN half-page. Title: Imperative Mood 12/11. Rewrite the first 4 sentences from textbook page 30, Practice and Apply, so that they are a command or request with the implied subject “you”.  Label them a command or request when you’re done.

Examples:

Original sentence: I want you to walk the dog after dinner.

Rewrite: Walk the dog after dinner. (This is a command)

Original sentence: The dishes should be washed.

Rewrite: Please wash the dishes. (This is a request)

• Group 2: In your group, using your conditional mood bellwork from last week to remind you, complete numbers 1-5 on textbook page 166 on a half-page titled Conditional Mood 12/11 in your IAN. Reminder: Conditional mood means the sentence has an if/then relationship included.

Example:

Original sentence: The students finished the assignment and got to do a word search.

Rewrite: If the students finish their assignment, they might get to do a word search.

• Group 3: Create a new IAN half-page titled Determining the Meanings of Words and Phrases 12/11. Copy this table:

Element	How they create the mood
Setting – where/when	The place and the words used to describe it can create a mood
Imagery – language that appeals to the 5 senses	What we see, hear, or otherwise sense can make us feel sad, cheerful, anxious, and many other moods
Symbol – a person, place, object, or activity that stands for something else	The emotions evoked by a symbol (or what happens to it) can affect the overall feeling of a piece.
Allusion – a reference to a famous person place, event, or book	An allusion to a serious person or book can set a somber mood, like a reference to something joyful can contribute to a peaceful mood.

• Group 4: Create a Venn diagram on a new half-page in your IAN titled Compare and Contrast 12/11. Draw two large intersecting circles to create a Venn Diagram. Label one circle “Compare” and the other circle “Contrast” and the center section “Both” 

Within the circles, record information to help you distinguish between the terms, based on the dictionary definitions of each. Compare: p.283, Contrast p.303. What do they have in common? They’re both terms for analyzing and understanding information.

• Group 5: On a new half-page in your IAN, write the title Using Context 12/11. Write this definition: “Context clues are the words, phrases, and sentences surrounding a word that provide hints about a word’s definition. These clues may be before or after the unfamiliar word.” At the bottom of page 150 in your textbook there is a table based on the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Copy the table onto your half-page, and complete it with your group.

Word	Context clues	Guessed Definition	Dictionary definition
Divest (line 26)	It says she was divested of the qualities and her kind heart became like stone	Robbed? Lost?	To deprive or lose
Apt (line 39)
Bestow (line 61)
Console (line 75)
