I have written supplementary lessons for Woe Is I, Jr., a grammar handbook for kids. You can find my introductory comments and the first lesson here.
1. Read Chapter 1 and do what O’Conner suggests.
2. Watch Schoolhouse Rock’s Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, a video about pronouns.
3. Write a paragraph or two about a funny or scary or challenging activity you did with someone else. The catch? Don’t use any pronouns. Copy and paste it; then rewrite it with pronouns. When you compare the two, what do you discover?
4. Practice your pronouns at www.chompchomp.com. Complete the handouts or interactive exercises for Pronoun Case.
I would love to see the funny, scary, or challenging paragraphs in the comments. Please share.
