I am an aspiring teacher, and one day hope to teach in New York as a Social Studies or ESL teacher. I am in the process of obtaining my Master's Degree in Education with a dual-certification in Social Studies and TESOL. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from Adelphi University. I also attended Carle Place High School and graduated in 2011. As a Long Island native, I hope to teach in either a Long Island public school or for the NYC Department of Education. I enjoy sports and history as well, so this blog may have many exercises pertaining to the two!
Key Vocabulary:
Aspiring- to want or achieve something.
Obtaining- to gain.
Dual- two
Native- born in a certain place.
Pertaining- to relate to someone or something.
Grammar Point: Verb Tenses
Throughout this paragraph, I used quite a few different verb tenses. The verb tense I used for each sentence depends on whether or not the event happened already, or is in the process of happening.
Exercise:
Read through my "bio" paragraph and identify the verbs I used in my paragraph. After you identify the verbs, try and label the tense the verb has been written in. The list of possible verb tenses is available below.
Vocab:
Identify- to know and say who someone is or what something is
Available- possible to get or use.
*Remember a verb is an action word.
*Look at the ending of the verbs. (-ed, -ing). This will help you figure out which tense is which.
