STEP TWO Copy the quotation into your LN. Paraphrase the quotation (put it into your own words without changing the message). Explanation Process STEP THREE Working with your group, compare your responses in LN. Come to an agreement about what the quotation is saying. Establish a connection between the quotation and the Unit Theme (Human Rights). Most of these quotations are historical (happened in the past). Do they have relevance to today’s world? Explain with examples. What icon or symbol could be used to represent the quotation? STEP FOUR Create a poster to express your group’s interpretation of the quotation to the class. Poster Presentation Gallery Walk through the exhibit of posters. As you walk, you must remain silent. You may leave comments on the sticky notes provided. At the conclusion of your Gallery Walk, write a short reflection on the process of creating the poster and on the exhibit. Grammar Linking Verbs Linking verbs are primarily forms of the verb to be. They are conjugated -- singular and plural– (present / past) First person am / was Second person are /were Third person is / was are / were are / were are /were Grammar (continued) Linking verbs serve in the same capacity as the equals mark in a math formula. What is on one side of the linking verb will restate or describe what is on the other side of the verb. Example: Mrs. Sinders is our principal. (subject) Or LV (predicate noun) RESTATES subject Mrs. Sinders is kind. (subject) LV (predicate adjective) DESCRIBES subject Practice Copy the following sentences into Grammar Notebook: 1. Michael Phelps is an Olympic medalist. 2. My brother was witty. 3. Rights are available to all. 4. Character traits were the topic of last month’s discussion. For each sentence, place one line under the subject, place two lines under the verb and label it LV, identify the portion after the verb as either predicate noun (renames) or predicate adjective (describes).
