Sometimes we don't realize it, but humans are always telling stories. Sometimes these stories are fables from long ago. Often, they are simple events we relate to our friends. This week, we talked about storytelling. To do this, we practiced how to use simple past verbs vs. past continuous verbs. We also talked a little about how to use stative verbs. If you are not sure about what stative verbs are, CLICK HERE for a list and a description to help you.
For your homework this week, choose one of the videos below. Each video is a Canadian story, but these stories don't have many words. Please write at least 100 words to tell one of the stories. You may read your classmates' work, but don't copy them! Instead, try to improve upon what they did. Also, don't forget to do your WORKBOOK: pages 48 and 49C.
Here are the stories you can choose from:
1. The Story of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Mascots
2. "Neighbours" by Norman McLaren
3. "The Big Snit" by Richard Conde
Have fun with these stories! See you in class.
