SEE ALL STUDY TIPS
If you ever find you are blank after reading something, go back and figure out where you were doing well and look for a word right after that you don't quite know or understand completely and look it up. Make examples and "GET THE MEANING" as it was intended. You will clear any confusion, become interested again and move along easily.

Mass Nouns
Point out that most nouns can be counted such as three books, four nickles. Contrast these with mass nouns that can not be counted, such as bread, rice. Have your students identify which of the following nouns are mass nouns: mail, zebra, room, gold, grass, school, sugar, town, robin, peanut butter, air, package, card , clothing. (mail, gold, grass, sugar, peanut butter, air, clothing).
Delayed Feedback
Here is something that happens to all teachers. You prepare and teach a wonderful lesson, but when the bell rings, the students leave without saying a word about how good it was. You cannot rely on instant gratification. Instead, keep in mind that some things you do in class will influence students for years to come.
