Grammar:
Now we compare S-Vt-DO OCN and OCA (see previous blog post)! 😄
Writing: Marco Polo
More Inventive Writing (using our own mind as the source text by asking ourselves questions). This assignment is fun because our students get to write a letter and let their imaginations run wild! Great place to practice all our dress ups!

Week 16-17 Recap
Grammar: S-Vt-DO-OCN and OCA
I like to think of the contrast between these two structures as similar to the difference between S-Vt-DO-PN and PA: it's a matter of the DO being renamed as another noun or describing by an adjective what the object has become.
Writing: Favorite Amusements, 1&2
Unit VII: Inventive Writing
In this unit we practice using our own experiences and imagination as a source text. We do this by asking ourselves a series of questions about a topic (questions in the student text). Remember, it's the process of asking and answering these questions well which we want the students to master; not simply rewriting a source text!
