The end of a story or end of an event is known as a conclusion or final decision.    Example: John is going to jump off of the roof of his house.    (We can conclude or make a conclusion that john may get hurt) Finish these sentences with your own conclusion using inductive reason.    1. Today Rick is going to the beach. He is thinking of what to bring.    ___________________________________________________________________    2. The cat ran across the street and disappeared under a car.    ___________________________________________________________________    3. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the cave. Everyone became curious and began looking inside.    ___________________________________________________________________   Drawing a conclusion based on facts or an event in the story is called deductive reasoning.    Example: The man likes collared shirts and khakis. His shoes are black and shiny.     (We can conclude this man is well dressed.) Finish these sentences with your own conclusion using deductive reason.    1. When Linda turned right at the traffic light used her left turn signal.    ___________________________________________________________________    2. John left for work and the house keys are inside the house.    ___________________________________________________________________    3. My grandfather is raking the leaves while grandmother rides the lawn mower.    ___________________________________________________________________     Page 5
	Grammar: Subject and Object Pronouns Pronouns are words that take the place of noun in the sentence.    Example: Bob drives his car too much.                       He drives his car too much. The difference between subject and object pronouns is subject pronouns are the subject of the sentence.    Example: I will see a movie tonight. (subject) There are also singular subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it) and plural subject pronouns (we, you, they).   Put a circle around the subject pronouns in these sentences.    1. I think we should go swimming.    2. You know I like popcorn more than candy.    3. They said we cannot be here past eight o' clock.   Replace the subjects with subject pronouns.    1. Bill lost his wallet at the store.                          ______    2. The cat found some milk.                                 ______    3. Everyone saw the man fly into the safety net. ______   Object pronouns are the object of the verb, preposition or phrase.    Example: Ken told me some things I did not agree with. (object) There are also singular object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it) and plural object pronouns (us, you, them). Finish these sentences with an object pronoun.    1. I do not like thunderstorms. I do not like ______ one bit.    2. This afternoon I was on the phone and I saw ______ jogging.    3. I searched the woods for ______ many days. Replace the underlined noun with an object pronoun.    1.

	The Fair Writing: Practice – Finish the Story - Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.     Today is the opening day of the state fair. I am going with my dad. We go together every year. I always have fun at the fair. We wait until the evening, when it is cooler outside. Then, we get in the car and drive to the fairgrounds. We have to park far away because it is very crowded. We walk for a long time. Then, we finally arrive at the fair! We are both very hungry. We look for someone selling food. Then, we find someone selling hamburgers. I eat a hamburger and my dad eats a slice of pizza. I want an ice cream cone, too. But, my dad tells me to wait until later. Next, we go to the petting zoo. I pet a sheep and a goat. I ride a pony around a ring. It is scary at first, but I have a lot of fun. Now it is time to ride the carnival rides. Which one should I ride first!  _________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ Literature: Forming Questions Who Use the words on the left to form questions.    Example: are | you | who | ? > Who are you      1. here | who | ? | lives >                                               ______________________________________      2. friend | is | who | ? | your >                                       _______________________________________      3. his | who | barber | is | ? >                                        ______________________________________      4. our | who | ? | is | on| team >                                    _______________________________________      5. cuts | the | grass | who | ? >                                      _______________________________________      6. you | do | go | with | fishing | solo | ? >                     _______________________________________      7. paint | house| ? | my | who | can >                            _______________________________________      8. likes | better | chocolate | vanilla | who | than | ? >  _______________________________________   Page 7
