Tuesday, 8/30: KBARR Check, Adjectives, Vocab, Outsiders

I will be checking KBARR while you warm up. Here are some more options for responding: 55 Ways.

“Adjectives, 8/30.” (9p) For the underlined word in each sentence, write “adj” or “not.” If it is an adjective, tell what word it is describing/modifying.

  1. A French chef in New York chisels ice sculptures.   a) adjective  b) not
  2. Machine parts are used to form mechanical structures.   a) adjective  b) not
  3. She is a pretty savvy poker player .   a) adjective  b) not
  4. She has a lot of basketball savvy.  a) adjective  b) not
  5. We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.

 

“Vocabulary, 8/30.” (12p) Read #6 and #7 together as one sentence. No need to copy anything; write the appropriate vocabulary word. You may use words more than once. Always be prepared to explain your reasoning. Schoolwide AWs are included in the word bank.
