Halfway through your reading, I will stop you and ask you
to make an inference about your book. Be prepared to
put the book down and write for a few minutes!
ELECTRONIC TEXT FEATURE
SCAVENGER HUNT
You will complete each task on your
worksheet.
Each person in your group has a different
webpage with information that you will
eventually need.
Work together to share the information
and answer all of the questions!
COMMAS AND SEMICOLONS
FINAL PRACTICE!
Quiz on Wednesday!
Complete the worksheets with your partner or on your

NOTES
Noun: a person, place, thing, or idea.
Ex: Sally, The White House, Compassion
Pronoun: a word that takes the place of a specific
noun.
Ex: He, She, You, We, They, Them,
Indefinite Pronoun: a words that takes the place of
a noun but does not refer to anything specific.
EXAMPLES
Billy bounced the basketball.
He bounced the basketball.
In this examples, “He” takes the place of the
specific noun “Billy.”
NOTES
Indefinite pronouns:
A word that takes the place of a noun, but that noun
is not specific.
Ex: Anybody, somebody, Anyone, Everybody
Pronoun leave us thinking: “who are we talking
about when we say “anybody?”
NOTES
Singular Pronouns: pronouns that refer to
one noun, though that noun in not
specific.
Plural pronouns: pronouns that may refer
to many nouns, though those nouns are
not specific.
PARTNER PRACTICE
Underline the indefinite pronoun in each
sentence.
Use the chart given to you to organize
pronouns as singular or plural.

(10L) TITLE: SUBJECT/VERB
AGREEMENT
Do Now:
What is a school project that you are the
most proud of? Why are you proud of this
project?
If you cannot think of a school project, what
is one project that you would like to work on
this year, in any class?
OBJECTIVES
We will make inferences in our independent
reading.
We will make the subject and the verb in our
sentences agree.
We will use electronic features to gather
information.
NOTES
Subject Verb Agreement
When the subject of your sentence is singular the verb is
also singular.
The cat = singular
Sings = singular
The cat sings.
This is a good sentence because the subject and verb are
both singular.
NOTES
Plural noun: there are many of this noun.
End in an –s
Ex: Cats
Singular verb: almost always end in an –s
Sings
TEACHER TIP
Step 1: Underline the Subject.
Step 2: Circle the Verb.
Step 3: If your subject has an –s at the end, put “pl”
over the subject.
Step 4: If your verb has an –s at the end, put “sing”
over the verb.
Step 5: If both your subject and verb agree—they
are both “sing” or both “pl” then you have no
problem.
Step 6: If your subject and verb do not agree,
change one of them so that they agree.
PARTNER PRACTICE
Label the nouns and verbs of these sentences as
“sing” or “pl”
If they agree, move on.
If they do not agree, change one of them so that
they do agree.
Hint: all it takes is adding an –s to make a noun
plural and dropping an –s to make a verb plural.
INDEFINITE PRONOUN
SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT
Unfortunately, there is no –s at the end of an
indefinite pronoun.
The challenge is to determine if an indefinite
pronoun is singular or plural. For today. You will
use your chart to help you!
PARTNER PRACTICE
Complete the worksheet with your
partner. Use your singular and
plural indefinite pronoun chart to
help you!
