Wednesday, 3/2

Classwork
Review these comments on brainstorming.
  • Transitive and intransitive verbs. Reduce is transitive, so you cannot say Traffic would reduce; you should say Traffic would be reduced or Improved public transportation would reduce traffic.
  • Familiar relationships should be family relationships or familial relationships because the adjective form of family is familial.
Task 7 (3/2): Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Homework
Find example sentences for the two words you've been assigned on the Google Document "Word Families." I've already typed in the different word forms, so all you need to do is find the example sentences. In other words, if a box is blank, you don't need to worry about it.
