It's All About Trust: January 15, 2019

Focus: Whom do we trust and why? To what extent can we trust ourselves?

1. Warming up with your weekly IXL writing lesson: Parallel structure

Step 1: Write down three action verbs (such as hike, relax, read, etc). Use one index card for each.
Step 2: Swap cards with the person next to you.
Step 3: Write down a sentence about your partner using all three words in the present tense.

• Ex: Kendra reads, swims, and jogs.

Step 4: Change the sentence a bit so that each verb ends in "-ing."

• Ex: Kendra enjoys reading, swimming, and jogging.

Step 5: Change the sentence a bit to put the verbs in a different tense (past, future, infinitive, etc.).

• Ex: Kendra read, swam, and jogged.

Step 6: Change the sentence to add an adverb to each verb.

• Ex: Kendra read leisurely, swam slowly, and jogged quickly.
