  1. English 10 Sotw #8

  2. What Do You Notice? • During the game, a player may forget their plays. • If a person wants to succeed in life, they have to work hard. • If any student needs help with the homework, he can email me. • This money is for Fred and I. • The man who we hit with a water balloon was not happy.

  3. Pronouns and Antecedents • Pronoun: a word that replaces an already-mentioned noun • Antecedent: the original noun that the pronoun has replaced

  4. Rule #1 • Pronouns and their antecedents must agree in number. • Singular pronouns (he, she, anyone, someone) go with singular antecedents. • Plural pronouns (they, them, their) go with plural antecedents. • During the game, a player may forget their plays. • If a person wants to succeed in life, they have to work hard.

  5. Rule #2 • Pay attention to gender. • Don’t just use he or she—use both, or change the sentence so that you can use they/them/their. • If any student needs help with the homework, he can email me.

  6. Rule #3 • Don’t be tricked by “I” and “me.” • Use “I” when you need it to be the subject of the sentence. • Use “me” when you need it to be the object of some action. • When in doubt, state it in singular form and decide which sounds better. • This money is for Fred and I. • Me and Fred made some money this weekend.

  7. Rule #4 • Don’t be tricked by who and whom. • Use “who” when you need it as the subject of the sentence. • “Who” identifies who is doing something. • Use “whom” when you need it as the object of a verb. • “Whom” identifies who is having something done to it. • The man who we hit with a water balloon was not happy.

  8. Journal #_____ • In the story, “The Lesson,” the kids (particularly Sugar and the narrator, Sylvia) feel isolated and outcast for a few reasons—race and wealth being two of them. In the world of high school—and in Grandview, specifically—what causes people to feel isolated and outcast?
