Teacher: So, what I’m going to do now
is…moving into our Possible Sentence

00:00:03,210 --> 00:00:09,410
strategy that we used yesterday…first thing
I want to do is look at our list of words.

00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:16,250
And the purpose, remember, here is to try
and find minimum of two words in a possible

00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:21,940
sentence that we might find in the text. So
I know that we’re studying about the 17 and

00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:28,290
the 1800s, okay? I know that we have been
talking about people working. People used to

00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:34,170
come here, and, you know, as adults and work
as indentured servants. And so when I’m

00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:39,600
thinking about that, I’m thinking about
perhaps teens and employment. So my first

00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:48,380
possible sentence could be “In the 17 and
1800s…” Let me walk over here and get closer

00:00:48,380 --> 00:01:01,800
to look at these words.  “In the 17 and
1800s, teens were not compensated” or “there

00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,600
was no compensation for their employment.”
Something like that might work. Well, teens

00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,690
often worked without compensation for
employment. So let me write that out so I

00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:15,960
can kind of see what this is looking like.

00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:45,610
So in the 1700s and 1800s—what did I
say?—teens often worked without

00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:49,400
compensation. I need to finish that. In the
1700s and 1800s teens often worked without

00:01:49,400 --> 00:02:01,260
compensation for their work. So the word
would be “employment.” Okay, so we got

00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:06,980
one…actually three words in that possible
sentence. So my thinking around this is,

00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:10,980
this might be something that I’m going to
see in a text we’re about to read.  Okay,

00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:17,690
let me come up with one more sentence.
Talking about teens and their work kind of

00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:22,500
makes me wonder about their education, okay,
during the day. What kind of…if work was so

00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:28,530
important, you know, maybe they needed to
spend a lot of time on skills and trade

00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:40,390
during the day so that they could prepare
for this. So I’m thinking of education

00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:58,310
and…let’s see here. So writing is…trade or
skills. Okay, here we go. Learning a trade

00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:18,610
or skill during the school day was an
important…so I’m going to use “crucial”…was

00:03:18,610 --> 00:03:27,780
a crucial part. Now, you’ll notice that I am
making an effort to make these into complete

00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:41,340
sentences. A crucial part of teen education
during 1700s and 1800s.  Okay, so let’s go

00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:49,200
back through: “crucial,” “education.” So did
I satisfy the requirements of the Possible
Sentence strategy? Yeah, I used at least two
of the words from our list here.
