Sample for January Book Assignment
Today:
B5:
1. For those who have not finished SAGE testing, prepare to go to Lab 211.
Bring a pencil and your testing ticket to the lab.
2. In the lab, if you have not finished your SAGE Writing Test, you will work on that. Please remember to do your best.
3. When you have finished, return to the classroom.
________________________________________________________________
Those who have finished SAGE testing will stay in the classroom.
You will work on the following:
1. CSI
- See the handout for matching prepositional phrases with their sentences. You need the hand out and a sheet of lined paper.
- You may work with a partner, and together you need to fill out only one copy and put both of your names on it.
- When you have finished, staple the handout and lined page together and hand them in to the top wire basket.
1. In their stalls in the barn, the horses pricked up their ears when they heard the goose hollering. (opener)
-- or –
The horses. in their stalls in the barn, pricked up their ears when they heard the goose hollering. (S-V Split)
-- or –
The horses pricked up their ears in their stalls in the barn when they heard the goose hollering. (middle – not as effective)
For this one, the prepositional phrase will not work as a closer, because it makes it seem that the goose is hollering in the horses’ stalls. It doesn’t make sense.
How could a goose holler in more than one stall anyway?
Choose one of the options above and copy it, then complete the other sentences on your own.

2. Analogies:
Analogies show relationships. The two sets of words in an analogy have the same relationships.
For example,
Knee is to leg as elbow is to arm. Both show part to whole relationships.
Love is to hate as light is to dark. Both show opposite (antonym) relationships.
- Do this with a partner or on your own.
- If you have a partner, for each paper you need to fill out only one copy and put both of your names on it.
- Do all three of these papers: After you have finished each, pick up the next one.
- Analogies
- Explaining Analogies
- Creating Analogies
3. When you are done practicing with analogies, read your individual reading book.
