NOTE: G.U.M. Workbooks were distributed by class, color-coded. Students wrote their names on all three sides.
1) Grammar Notes: A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, idea/quality. There are three classifications of nouns:
Common-Proper boy-Victor
Concrete-Abstract brick-love
Compound-Collective
mother-in-law/herd
With the collective noun, if the noun is collective, it may be made plural. If the noun is plural, then it is not collective.
Notes on prounouns: personal, reflexive, intensive, demonstrative, etc. GUM workbook...
Students completed pp. 2, 3, 5-6 while "The Interlopers" notes and questions were checked for a daily grade.
