The Google Doc below describes the specific directions for writing your short autobiography. It should be 3-4 paragraphs total. Each paragraph is described in detail below. Remember to choose memories of objects, events, activities, people, etc. that are important to you. That will make writing your essay much more fun!
If you have any questions, you may Chat or Hangout with me today or tomorrow. We will meet tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:45, and we can discuss your essays then, too. BE SURE YOU BEGIN WRITING TODAY SO THAT YOU CAN ASK ANY NEEDED QUESTIONS BY TOMORROW MORNING!!

I am excited to read your essays and learn even more about you!

On a Google Slide or two, create an informative slide of pictures of you doing your favorite things, being with your favorite pets and family and friends, and showing you with your favorite toy of object from early childhood. You may also include any school memories that you have pictures for or short, written explanations about. Think of these slides (or a singe slide) as a chance to share visually the elements that make up who you are today and the important things along the way so far. Feel free to include something from our recent isolation during this pandemic, which is certainly an unprecedented experience for young people.

As we prepare to write our autobiographies, we will be reviewing verbs.
1. Read and complete all Exercises on pp. 80-81 of our Language books.
2. You may write answers only, using a Google Doc.

Remember that adjectives provide description to nouns, so they are very helpful in making narratives vivid and memorable. (Note the vocabulary word!)
1. Read and complete pp. 54-55 in our Language books, on "Descriptive Adjectives."
2. Do Exercises 1-3, answers only. For Exercise 4, you will need to write full sentences. Take a little time on this to do your very best work. It will be good practice for your autobiographical narrative essay.

1. Read pp. 212-213 in our Language book. You may stop reading AFTER the Point of View section.
2. Jot down the main ideas of each section of the narrative essay on a Google Doc and turn it in.

Make a list of your memories that you MIGHT include in our autobiography assignment. This can be very informal--just a list of ideas. Include memories from your earliest childhood, favorite object/toy, siblings or family members, favorite place to play, favorite relative, pets, hobbies, school memories, when you joined SJE (which grade), favorite assignments this year in 6th grade, favorite field trips over the years, most challenging time at school, most fun at school, etc. SPEND TIME THINKING AND JOTTING IDEAS. INCLUDE ALL IDEAS THAT SPRING TO MIND. yOU WILL EDIT AND PRUNE, SO YOU WILL NOT BE WRITING ABOUT ALL OF THEM!!

Complete the attached test.

As a review for tomorrow's final test on Pronouns, I am assigning a couple of videos for you to view. Please take notes on each video (details you think will help you study for and succeed on the test) on a Google Doc, and turn the Doc in.

Happy viewing!!

Complete the test attached below. You may turn it in today or tomorrow, Friday.

Today's lesson is a chance for you to review and solidify your knowledge of demonstrative pronouns, pronouns in contractions, and possessive pronouns. I have selected videos with song and/or humor!

2. Study each type of pronoun presented.
3. Write brief notes on each type of pronoun. Turn this in.
Test on these kinds of pronouns will be tomorrow.

We will have our test on Pronouns on Monday, so your job is to review each lesson of Chapter 2 in our Language books. The chapter begins on p. 28.

The test will not be too difficult, but you will need to understand all the types of pronouns. Please review today, so you can ask me questions tomorrow in our Zoom meeting at 8:45.

Below, you will find two documents: one is our Pronoun "Quest," which is somewhere between a test and a quiz! The other is a table of pronouns, which you may use as you answer the questions.

Unfortunately, I could not find a good video for this assignment. I think you will remember these pronouns. If you have questions, we will address them in our meeting tomorrow.

I am assigning two videos to go over the rules with you. Sadly, they both are kind of cute (one has an orange cat like my Finn, and the other one has pandas!), but they do not have songs. Maybe we could write a song for this topic!!

This is another review of pronouns, which I am taking you through quickly because they are a big part of your 6th grade standards. Today, we will begin with a video. The speaker in the video has an accent, but I think you will still enjoy her teaching!

So that you do not feel rushed, I will make this assignment due tomorrow, Wednesday, April 1! This is NOT an April Fool's joke, either!!

PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELOW BEFORE YOU START.

Since we are reviewing, I want you to review nouns first. In an assignment you might have done before I was your teacher, you are asked to practice small amounts from each noun unit at the beginning of our Language book. Each set of questions tells you which unit it is assessing, so you can go back and review anything that is not clear to you.

This assignment will take you a couple of days to complete. I also think it would be a good lesson for us to go over as a class, in a Zoom meeting. If I can host one today at 1:15, I will let you know.

I want you to begin this assignment and do your best. Go back to each lesson if you need to. Most of you will need to, just to remind yourself of names and rules. This is a good Noun Review.

Read and complete all exercises on pp. 2-3 in our Language books. This will definitely be a review, and you may have done these pages early in the school year, before I was your teacher. Nonetheless, I want you to review these concepts and complete all exercises. Use a Google Doc to write ANSWERS ONLY.

First, turn in the work on Adjective phrases you completed last week. It is work from pp. 148-149, exercises 1-4.

Next, read over and complete Adverb Phrases, on pp. 150-151. Complete Exercises 1-4.
