We are learning about what infinitives are. Try to compare them to your world language class.

• Infinitives: to +verb
• can act like a noun, adjective, or an adverb

We also learned about correlative conjunctions: not only/ but also, neither/nor, either/ or, both/and  

Romantic Love Quiz

We did an activity where we were asked questions and were asked to disagree or agree. We  gave our opinions about all of these the topics and decided to do a little bit of a debate. We had some great opinions!  

These were the things that were asked:

• Love means never having to say you're sorry
• Teenagers cannot experience true love
• no one is ever too young to fall in love
• it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
• love at first sight is possible
• love never changes
• If you are really in love, physical appearance doesn't matter
• You have to work at love

Other things that we did/talked about:

• We checked out new books: Taming of the Shrew
• make sure that you have your audio linked to your poem for the children.

Homework:
copy of Taming, bring reading book to TCAP tests, outline essay before writing

Good luck and have a great week!!! Eliana Lander
