Last week we studied interjections. To make our learning fun, I had my children draw pictures of scenes where a person would be using a strong expression of feeling or emotion. Some scenes they created were a surfer being attacked by a shark, a baseball game, a hiker falling off a mountain, and a roller coaster ride which is pictured above. They traded pictures and the other child had to come up with five interjections for that picture.
Of course, for my eleven-year-old son, I specified interjections and not expletives...even though he insisted he's heard 'all those words' while riding roller coasters.
Anne, you just have to know that I often refer other CC Essentials tutors to your website, and that I plan to use it as I prepare to tutor Essentials myself. Thank you for sharing your great ideas at the Cycle 3 Weekly Link-up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brandy.

Repetition is a lovely thing.
