Write each spelling word two times each.Grammar: Types of Dependent Clauses
As we mentioned last week. There are three types of dependent clauses:
Noun Clauses
Adverbial Clauses
Adjective (Relative) Clauses
Noun Clauses
a noun clause is a dependent clause in which the whole clause is used as a noun in a sentence. A noun clause will act as the subject of the sentence or a direct object and usually answers the question What? Which? or Who?
example:
I know which super heroes can fly.
Notice: Super Heroes is a subject
can fly is a verb.
Which super heroes can fly cannot stand as its own sentence, but it has a subject and a verb and is therefore a clause.
Which super heroes can fly answers the question What? What does the subject "I" know? It also acts as the direct object of the sentence.
Whoever wakes up first, feeds the animals.
Notice: Whoever functions as a subject in the clause.
Wakes up functions as the verb in the clause.
Whoever wakes up first cannot stand as its own sentence, but it has a subject and a verb and is therefore a clause.
Whoever wakes up first is the subject of the whole sentence, answers the question who? and acts as the subject of the sentence.
Adverbial Clauses
Adverbial clauses play the role of an adverb, and like all clauses, an adverbial clause will contain a subject and a verb.
example:
Keep folding the laundry until I tell you to stop.
Notice: I is a subject
Tell a verb
Until I tell you to stop cannot stand as its own sentence and is therefor a dependent clause.
Until I tell you to stop modifies the verb phrase folding the laundry and is therefore and adverbial clause.
An easy way to tell if the clause is an adverbial clause is to replace it with and adverb and see if the sentence still makes sense.
Keep folding the laundry currently.
instead of
Keep folding the laundry until I tell you to stop.
both work as adverbs and makes sense.
Adjective (Relative) Clauses
Adjective (Relative) Clauses are multi-word adjectives with both a subject and a verb. The entire clause will modify a noun in the sentence. Adjective clauses will start with a relative pronoun (who, whom, whose, that, or which) or (when, where, or why), have a subject and a noun, and tells us more about a single noun in the same sentence.

examples:
The swimming pool, that you built last year, is moldy.
Notice: You is a subject.
Built is a verb.
Notice: You is a subject.
Built is a verb.
That you built last year cannot stand as its own sentence and is therefor a dependent clause.
That you built last year describes the swimming pool and can be replaced with a single word adjective and still make sense.
The first year, when we moved to Utah, was colder than normal.
Notice: We is a subject.
Moved is a verb.
Moved is a verb.
When we moved to Utah cannot stand as its own sentence and is therefor a dependent clause.
When we moved to Utah describes the swimming pool and can be replaced with a single word adjective and still make sense.
The flour that she wanted to put into the cookies spilled on the floor.
Notice: She is a subject.
Wanted is a verb.
Wanted is a verb.
That she wanted to put into the cookies cannot stand as its own sentence and is therefor a dependent clause.
That she wanted to put into the cookies describes the swimming pool and can be replaced with a single word adjective and still make sense.

Tuesday
Write each spelling word in a sentence that uses only active verbs. That means you cannot use any form of the verb "to be": am, was, are, were, is.Literary Device: Colloquialism
Colloquialism is the use of informal language or slang in writing to give the writing more authenticity and a general feel that the people in the writing are in the time and place that the event is occurring. Forms of colloquialism include words, phrases, and contractions that aren't real words (such as "gonna" and "ain't" or "What's up").
examples:
"She ain't my real mother," Bobby cried.
"Y'all comin' to the party tonight?" questioned Sydney.
I wasn't born yesterday.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
Let's go to Macca's. (Macca's is McDonald's in Australia.)
famous examples:

Let's go to Macca's. (Macca's is McDonald's in Australia.)
famous examples:
~Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allen Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Poetry and Creative Writing
This week we are going to learn one more form of Japanese poetry, The Haibun.
The haibun is the combination prose poem and haiku. The 17th century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, popularized this fun form of poetry. The prose poem and haiku work together to build a story with background and emotion. The Haibun can begin with Haiku and can have one or more prose paragraphs with haiku in between. Haibun usually end with Haiku.
example:
pretty candles
on a colored birthday cake
happiness
Little blond haired, blue eyed Sam turned three. Excited, he spent two weeks singing "Happy Birthday" to himself. His older brother turned fifteen the week previous. Sam thought all birthday's his, but managed that day with all the grace that an almost three year old can muster.
cerulean eyes
peering from golden tresses
sweetly singing
When Sam's birthday actually came, he had a marvelous day beginning with a breakfast of a bagel smeared with thick cream cheese and adorned with a little blue candle. Sam sang happy birthday and managed to keep his flowy toddler hair out of the fire. He then opened his present of playdough, singing to himself again, and playing happily for hours.
