*Retelling events from your day:

I want you to think about your day today and sequence events in order from what happened first to last. Use complete sentences when describing your day as well as accurate grammar! Email me your short paragraph to my email.

(EX: Today, I woke up at 8:00am and began my day! First, I brushed my teeth and took a shower. Then, I ate breakfast and drank my coffee. After that, I sat down at my computer and completed my online assignments. Last, I decided to go outside and have some fun before lunch!).

Please watch the video above from YouTube. The video topic is: "Maintaining Connected Comments." We have talked A LOT about this and why it is so important to maintain a topic of conversation when speaking with others. It is okay to change a topic of conversation, but we have to do so appropriately. Then, answer the following questions (send them to my email address and I will provide you with feedback).

1. What are "connected comments"?

2. Why is it important to make "connected comments" when speaking to others?

3. What unexpected behavior did the girl exhibit in the video above?

4. How did it make the boy feel?

5. What should the girl have done differently?

6. How would it make you feel if you were speaking to someone and they abruptly changed the topic of conversation?
