3 Term 1

4 Term I Bible: Psalm 23 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

5 Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee by Henry van Dyke Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow rs before Thee, Op ning to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow ry meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee. Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. Mortals, join the happy chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life.

6 Jesus! what a Friend for sinners! Jesus! Lover of my soul; Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He, my Savior, makes me whole. Refrain: Hallelujah! what a Savior! Hallelujah! what a Friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end. Jesus! what a Strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him; Tempted, tried, in Him confiding, He, my Strength, my vict ry wins. Jesus! what a Help in sorrow! While the billows o er me roll, Even when my heart is breaking, He, my Comfort, helps my soul. Jesus! what a Guide and Keeper! While the tempest still is high, Storms about me, night o ertakes me, He, my Pilot, hears my cry. Jesus! I do now receive Him, More than all in Him I find; Christ in me, the Hope of glory, I am His, and He is mine Our Great Savior by J. William Chapman

8 Arithmetic by Carl Sandburg Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head. Arithmetic tell you how many you lose or win if you know how many you had before you lost or won. Arithmetic is seven eleven all good children go to heaven -- or five six bundle of sticks. Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand to your pencil to your paper till you get the answer. Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky -- or the answer is wrong and you have to start all over and try again and see how it comes out this time. If you take a number and double it and double it again and then double it a few more times, the number gets bigger and bigger and goes higher and higher and only arithmetic can tell you what the number is when you decide to quit doubling. Arithmetic is where you have to multiply -- and you carry the multiplication table in your head and hope you won't lose it. If you have two animal crackers, one good and one bad, and you eat one and a striped zebra with streaks all over him eats the other, how many animal crackers will you have if somebody offers you five six seven and you say No no no and you say Nay nay nay and you say Nix nix nix? If you ask your mother for one fried egg for breakfast and she gives you two fried eggs and you eat both of them, who is better in arithmetic, you or your mother?

9 Week 1: Teddy Roosevelt s Inaugural Address Our relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population, and in power as this nation has seen during the century and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils, the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee.

10 Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a Democratic republic. Words to Study:

11 Dictation:

12 Composition: Pretend you just got elected President. Write out your inaugural address. Discuss the state of our nation at present and what you plan to do to improve the lives of your fellow Americans.

13 Grammar: Sentences To speak or to write effectively, one must know how to construct sentences properly. Nothing in the use of language is more important than this. A well-organized sentence, one that is clear, correct, and expressive, is the first step towards the perfection of any form of composition. Stories, sketches, speeches, songs, and other kinds of writing, must move forward sentence by sentence. To illustrate in another way, sentences are the blocks by which we build. One is laid upon the other till the language structure is complete. If any sentence be faulty or poorly constructed, the whole structure is weakened in consequence. There are four kinds of sentences: 1. Declarative - A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses an opinion. 2. Interrogative - An interrogative sentence asks a question. 3. Imperative - An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request. 4. Exclamatory - An exclamatory sentence shows great emotion. Every sentence must have two parts, the subject and the predicate. The subject is that of which something is said. The predicate says something of the subject. Exercise 1: Draw a line to divide these sentences into subject and predicate. 1. The wind was blowing a smacking breeze. 2. The night was clear, crisp, and sparkling with stars. 3. A black shadow dropped down into the circle. 4. The sun gradually wheeled his broad disk down into the west. 5. The herds rushed together bewildered. In simple declarative sentences like these, it is easy to separate subject from predicate. In the other kinds of sentences, the parts are not so readily distinguished; but if one will

14 first change the interrogative and exclamatory sentence to the declarative form, it become easier to find the subject and predicate. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me? You will turn the grindstone a few minutes for me. How alert, supple, free she was! She was alerts, supple, free. The imperative sentence is likewise easily separated into its two parts if one keeps in mind the fact that the subject of the imperative sentence is generally you understood. Hurry to school. (You) hurry to school. Speak out your own thoughts. (You) speak out your own thoughts. Exercise 2: By changing the forms to the declarative, or by supplying the understood words, find and write in a column the subjects of these sentences. Then in another column write the predicate. Subject Predicate 1. Wrecked is the ship of pearly! 2. What was the Great Stone Face? 3. Should we not love our enemies? 4. Have you seen an apple orchard? 5. Suffer not yourself to be betrayed by a kiss. 6. Sing the new year in under the blue. 7. How beautiful is the rain! 8. Hang all your leafy banners out. 9. In all this what have we accomplished? 10. Remember now thy Creator in the days of they youth.

Sentences like the in the last two exercises, being of simple construction, are called simple sentences. They contain but one subject and one predicate.

15 Sentences like the in the last two exercises, being of simple construction, are called simple sentences. They contain but one subject and one predicate. Exercise 3: The following are also simple sentences. Find the subject and predicate of each of them. 1. The apple is indeed the fruit of youth. 2. Hoe could we winter over without it? 3. How they resist the cold! 4. Enjoy this crisp and juicy Winesap.

16 Week 1: I Dream of a Day: Letters from Caleb Milne, Africa, I have noticed that on radio broadcasts and in war books, a great deal of space is given to a sort of announcement of Why I want to go. I am not sure of my reasons. I am not foaming to bayonet anyone, nor am I embittered enough to throw precious life away for this momentary calamity that has spread like a disease over the world. I believer our side is somewhat righter in all truth, but it is hard for an open mind to clog with hate. If I am touched with certain ignorances or innocences then I should be forgiven for feeling this way. Perhaps had I seen these far-off horrors that enrage our friends so violently, then I too would cry for blood. But, after so many small injustice and daily callousnesses and cruelties, I am dulled to the circus atmosphere that prevails.

17 If it is eat or be eaten, well and good; but if I must be convinced that wild beasts are roaming the world, my intelligence revolts and another slogan more grown-up and well-thought over must be found. In other words, the ultimate agonies of war are, to me, not unconnected Calvarys over the world; they are the ultimate, sickening florescence of a thousands indifferences, hates and greeds that my own country and people have also been guilty of, as well as those who kill and are killed. I dream of the day when one may say, I am a citizen of the world! Words to Study:

18 Dictation:

19 Composition: You have just been drafted to go fight in WWII. What would you be thinking and feeling? Write a diary entry.

20 Grammar: Complete Verbs Some verbs do not require a substantive or an adjective to make the predication complete. Such verbs alone can make a predicate. It rains. The villagers fled. Such verbs as rains and fled" are called complete verbs. Complete verbs may be followed by adverbs or by adverbial phrases and clauses. The adverbs and adverbial word groups, however, modify the predicate verb, not the subject. The winds blow wildly. The soldiers fled to the forest when the cannon was fired. Exercise 1: Underline the verbs in the following sentences. Indicate if the verb is a linking verb (LV) or a complete verb (CV). 1. The wind rose suddenly. 2. My story is not a very long one. 3. The grandpa seemed to be a jack-of-all-trades. 4. It was an interesting sight. 5. The children and and danced. 6. It looked stormy, but the clouds soon vanished. 7. Modest and shy as a nun is she. 8. His hair was as white as a snowdrift. 9. She stepped very softly out of the room. 10. They sat and dreamed together of the days gone by. 11. If I err not, though art the famous Robin Hood. 12. The rain poured down steadily. 13. After a word or two with the officer, he retired. 14. The vessel with all on board sank.

21 The verb sometimes means exists. In this case it is a complete verb. There was once a boy whose name was Henry. There were other reasons for his going. The introductory word there used in such sentences is called an expletive; it is not the real subject To find the subject, you will need to transpose the sentence. A boy, whose name was Henry, once was (lived). Other reasons for his going were. Exercise 2: Choose the predicate verb you think proper for these sentences. 1. There (were, was) four deer in the park. 2. There (has, have) been many mistakes made in sentences containing expletives. 3. There (go, goes) a company of soldiers. 4. There (are, is) the notes that I lost. 5. There (were, was) three hundred singers in the chorus. Exercise 3: Go back through the copywork passage. Underline the verbs and mark them (LV) for linking verb or (CV) for a complete verb.
