The Pilgrim Story- Grammar With a Thanksgiving Twist!
Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 6:17PM It's close to Thanksgiving and everyone is filled with the holiday spirit! This week, everything we do will have a Thanksgiving twist. Get ready for a fun-filled adventure!
Activity:
- Read "The Pilgrim Story."
- Grammar Scavenger Hunt: We have been studying nouns and verbs over the past couple of weeks. Read through the story again and identify at least 10 of the following: common nouns, proper nouns, pronouns, action verbs and linking verbs. Record your results on the worksheet or (.pdf file).
- Below I have created a list of important words from the story. Use Webster's Word Central or Visuwords to help you identify the meaning. Then, create a visual dictionary using Google Docs. Don't forget that you will need to sign in using your gmail address.
