    Acknowledgments

    First and foremost I would like to thank God for His spiritual guidance and clarity. As to the guidance and clarity I have received on Earth, I thank my family, Tony, Marion, Shanna, Tyler, and Ryan, for their support during the time I’ve taken to do my research and write my plays. A special thank you goes to my extended family and friends, Mr. Kennedy and his M.S. 584 staff. I am so grateful for everyone’s love and support.

    Using Reading Strategies with Drama

    Read with a purpose.

    Before reading drama, give yourself a purpose, or something to look, for, as you read. Say to yourself:

    Objective: To use the present tense of verbs correctly

    A verb in the present tense must agree with the subject of the sentence.

    Reflection

    • The present tense of an action verb must agree with its subject.

    With certain subjects this means adding s or es to the verb.

    • With he, she, it, or a singular noun, add s or es.

    • If a verb ends in ch, sh, s, x, or z, es is added.

    Examples

    The child mixes the cake batter.

    He wants to be an athlete.

    It calls for two cups of sugar.

    He catches the same bus everyday.

    • With I, you, we, they, or a plural noun, do not add s or es.

    They collect the bottles on Thursday’s.

    The girls want to bake cookies.

    They catch the same bus everyday.

    Action

    • Explain to a partner how to use present tense verbs correctly.

    Journal prompt

    • Write a short skit about your morning routines.

    • Describe what events take place by using present tense verbs.

    Ah . . . Who

    Learning Objective:

    Identify Problem and Solution

    Building Background

    Frederick Douglass was one of the people who spoke out against slavery.

    As you read, underline, highlight, or use post-its to mark two problems.

    Think, discuss, and write down possible solutions for the problems. Record problem and solution on the graphic organizer.
