• Engels
• Secundair onderwijs

Welcome to the final class!

1. Take your writing assignment.

2. Take out your Chromebook.

3. Log in to LessonUp.

4. Close your Chromebook when you've logged in.

5. Ready? Check your (spelling) mistakes in your text.

Check: Did I use the quantifiers correctly?

Check your story

Take a look at your text, and check:

1. Handwriting: Was my handwriting okay?
2. Lay-out: Did I highlight all quantifiers in 2 different colours? (one for countable nouns, one for uncountable nouns?
   If a quantifier can be both countable and uncountable: look at the noun. For example: a lot of snakeS --> countable >< a lot of fun --> uncountable
3. Story about a hero: Was my text actually about a writer leaving home to go to Brussels on a heroic quest?
4. If the answer to one of these questions is no: write down the word in bold

Note: "little" is also an adjective

a little house --> ADJECTIVE 

 = a tiny house (describes the house)

≠ a tiny bit of the house

a little time --> QUANTIFIER

= a tiny bit of time (describes the AMOUNT of time)

≠ a tiny time (?)

Note: DO NOT switch between tenses, but CHOOSE

I turned around, saw her and *run up to her to say hello.

I ran up to her (= all in the past)

Riley is jumping around and she smiles, she *was having so much fun with her friends
She IS having so much fun (= all in the present)
