August 26th
This past weekend was incredibly relaxing and fun. I got to visit my family inSalem. My Auntie Faye had her annual “End of Summer” pool party. This isoften the only time I see certain members of my extended family.
August 27th
Mr. Herron
1) Work with a person sitting next to you.
2) Each person should write today’s date at the top of a sheet of paper.
3) When I give the signal, create a list of words that contain the “Root” word below.
Writing: The Power of Peer Support 1) I wrote during each block last Thursday.
2) In each block, I only answered questions not asked by previous blocks.
Block 3
I have been hitting the links for about five years and have not stopped. It all started when my buddy Tom and I were mountain biking in Maryland. He suggested we play a round of golf after riding, which I had never done. I was hooked instantly and bought a starter set the next day ( driver, middie, and putter). Disc golf is similar to real golf but without all the formalities such as tee times, greens fees, and fancy clothes. The goal is to get the disc into a metal basket instead of a hole. Different discs are designed to go different distances and directions. The mixture of unique challenges and relaxation bring me back. I constantly have to calculate angles on throws as well as how much “arm” to put on throws. DG is also a way to spend time with friends, as my buddies and I take a few trips a year to our favorite courses in Paw Paw, WV. In this area, Walnut Creek is the best course.
Block 4While I lose discs sometimes, I also find quite a few.
This past year alone, I have found over 100 discs in the waters of Walnut Creek. Throwing discs into the pond is an indication that I am not a pro, but my skills are decent. I have competed and performed fairly well in a few tournaments, such as the Mountain Jam. Playing doubles during the summer with members of the BRDGC is another competitive outlet for me, and I’ve won a few bucks. Playing doubles is also an opportunity to meet new people and make friends such as Pete, who is one of the few people my dog allows to pet him.
Block 5Typically, I feel quite relaxed and at ease when I am
on the course. This is partly because a lot of the courses are wooded or have lakes or ponds; natural beauty is calming. It is also a good escape from the stresses of life as I have to focus intently on my shots. Of course, the game can be frustrating at times, and while I try not to get upset if I throw poorly, it happens (especially if I lose a disc!) My worst moment was losing my favorite disc, a pink Wraith, in the water off of 17. My best moment was shooting 4-under par at Walnut Creek.
Block 6 Courses can be quite short or quite long or
somewhere in between. Holes range in length from 200 feet to over 1000 feet in length. A person wins be getting the lowest score. Every hole has a par score. On a par three hole, for example, you get three shots to put the disc in the basket. Every shot over adds to your score; however, if you only use two shots on a par-3, then a stroke is taken off. Finishing a round in two-under par is better than finishing two-over par.
Peer Editing 1) Work with someone who is sitting next to you.
2) Exchange papers.
3) Write your name on your partner’s paper.
4) Read your partner’s paper. Think of ways they could add more information.
5) Write at least three questions to help your partner add specific information.

The Parts of Speech: Nouns
A person, place, thing, concept
(idea), or quality.
• Key Concepts– Common vs. proper
– Concrete vs. abstract
– Capitalization
– Forming possessives
– Nouns as adjectives
These are Concrete Nouns because you can experience them with at least one of your senses.
Concrete Nouns
If you can see something, it is a concrete noun.
If you can smell something, it is a concrete noun.
If you can hear something, it is a concrete noun.
If you can taste something, it is a concrete noun.
If you can touch something, it is a concrete noun.
Person:Student musician sculptor

These are Concrete Nouns because you can experience them with at least one of your senses.
Concrete Nouns
Abstract Nouns
Abstract nouns are nouns that you can’t see, touch, smell, hear or taste.
Ideas or Concepts
freedom love
honor feelings
wish thought
Qualities
honesty stubbornness
friendliness happiness
Shyness kindness
One could say “his honesty” or “her kindness”; they are abstract
TESTS: Is a Word an Abstract Noun?
1) Senses Test: Ask yourself, “Can I see, touch, taste, smell, or hear it?”
2) Possessive Test: Can a use a possessive pronoun with the word?
You can not experience freedom with your five senses, so it is abstract.
Common nouns name a general, non-specific person, place, or thing such as book or band.
Proper nouns name a specific person, place, or thing such as the title of a book, Hunger Games or the name of a friend, Dave Matthews Band.

Common vs. Proper Nouns : Examples
Notice that because proper nouns are the names of specific people, places, or things, they are
CAPITALIZED.
DO NOT CAPITALIZE:
Suzy says, “I am going to my uncle’s house.”
Suzy is not naming a specific uncle, so “uncle” is not capitalized.
CAPITALIZE:
Suzy says, “I am going to my Uncle Sam’s house.”
Suzy is naming a specific person, and uncle is his title, so uncle is capitalized.
This happens to any other common noun that is used as a title in front of a person’s name: Doctor Hall, Father Tim, Mister Connery, President Washington, and Aunt Joan.
So the rule to remember is that when a common noun is used in front of a person’s name as a title, you MUST capitalize it.
Nouns Used as Titles
Mystery uncleMystery uncle
The collective noun is one collection of many parts.
One forest is made of many trees.
One class, but it is made of many students.
One team, but it is made of many players.
A collective noun names a group, a collection. While it is made of many parts, it is ONE collection.
Collective Nouns
Collective Noun Parts
When all parts of a collective noun are acting together as a unit, the noun is singular.
After each performance, the audience rises to its feet in thunderous applause.
The team has won all of its games this season.
The family is going on vacation in August.
Collective Nouns : Singular
TAKE NOTE! : A singular verb is used with the singular collective noun.
Collective nouns are plural when the individual members of the collection are acting on their own – as individuals.
Plural Example : Each faculty member is acting individually
At the first Tuesday’s meeting, the faculty give their reports.
In other words, the members of the faculty are giving individual reports. Each of the members is acting individually.
Collective Nouns : Plural
Regular Nouns
Singular Plural
box boxes
hat hats
toy toys
boat boats
Irregular Nouns
Singular Plural
foot feet
tooth teeth
ox oxen
knife knives
child children
Forming Plurals
1) Regular noun (“normal” noun) : simply add an –s or an –es.
2) Irregular noun : an internal change (foot/feet) or the addition of another suffix (child/children) is needed.
3) Special irregular nouns : some nouns the same form whether they are singular or plural [fish/fish ; moose/moose].
Regular Nouns
Singular Plural
box’s boxes’
hat’s hats’
toy’s toys’
boat’s boats’
Irregular Nouns
Singular Plural
foot’s feet’s
tooth’s teeth’s
ox’s oxen’s
fish’s fish’s
child’s children’s
NOTE: The apostrophe is not used if the noun is simply plural and shows no ownership.
Regular and Irregular Possessive Nouns
Rule: With the exception of a plural noun with an “s” on its end, all possessive nouns are formed by
adding an ’s.
1. “THE” Test: The articles a, an, and the are noun indicators. That is, they indicate a noun is coming. To test if a word is a noun, place a “the” in front of the word in question:
“the air” – Yes! “Air” is a noun. “the empty” No! “Empty” is not a noun.
2. Possessive Test: Place a possessive pronoun in front of the noun (such as our, his, her, your, my, and others )
“my idea” -Yes! “idea is a noun.
“our follow”-
No! “follow” is not a noun.
Caution: Many English words can be more than one part of speech, so make sure you leave the word in its sentence context when using this test.

4) A noun can be the indirect object of an action verb. (There must be a direct object.) The indirect object is to whom or for whom the action was done:
