Today's Lesson

In this lesson, we'll explore irony: verbal, situational, dramatic. Strong literacy skills open doors to learning in all subjects.

Verbs are action words or words that show a state of being. Action verbs tell us what someone or something is doing: run, jump, write, think. Being verbs tell us what something is: am, is, are, was, were. Every sentence needs a verb! For example: "The dog runs" (action) or "The dog is happy" (being).

As you work through today's material, pay attention to the examples and try to identify the patterns or strategies being used. This will help you apply these concepts to new problems.

Take notes on key points and make connections to what you've already learned in previous lessons.
