Mentor Text: Jack October 31 Yes you can put the two blue-car poems on the board but only if you don’t put my name on them.
Jack November 6 They look nice typed up like that on blue paper on a yellow board. (But still don’t tell anyone Who wrote them, okay?) (And what does anonymous mean? Is it good?)
Daily Review: What is an abstract noun?
9-21-10 Objective: • I will apply new knowledge of common, proper, and compound nouns in my writing. • HW: Write a story using common, proper, abstract, concrete, compound, singular and plural nouns.
Plural Nouns: • A singular noun names one person, place, thing, or idea. • A plural noun names more than one person, place, thing, or idea. Boy Boys
Nouns ending in s, x, ch, and sh and how to make them plural. Add –es to them. For example: bus=buses = buzz=buzzes box=boxes = =
Two vowels at the end: • Add -s • Examples: • rodeo=rodeos • studio=studios • radio=radios
One vowel at the end: Usually add -es Examples: hero=heroes potato=potatoes Echo=echoes
Ends with a vowel and Y: • Add -s • day=days • turkey=turkeys • toy=toys
Ends with a consonant then Y: • Usually change y to i and add –es. • city=cities • diary=diaries • penny=pennies
f or fe: • Usually change f to v and add -s or –es • Examples: wife=wives leaf=leaves half=halves • Sometimes –s roof=roofs chief=chiefs belief=beliefs
Closure: • Name five plural nouns.
Long Term Memory View: • Give me a prepositional phrase.
