What is it like for a mother or a father to raise a child by herself or himself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: We can interview single parents. They can share their experiences themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Weaver: Yes, but you need to experience parenthood yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Ourselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter: Yeah, how do we do that? We\u2019re not parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Weaver: I asked myself the same question. I said, &#8220;Caty, how are they gonna do that?&#8221; Then an idea came to me. I will give you the babies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Bot: You may be asking yourself the same thing that I\u2019m asking myself: what is Ms. Weaver talking about!? I am sure we will find out shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lesson teaches reflexive pronouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause. We use them when the subject and the object are the same person or thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Ms. Weaver says, \u201cI asked myself the same question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u201d is the subject and \u201cmyself\u201d refers back to it. Here, she would not use the pronoun \u201cme.\u201d You need to use the reflexive pronoun \u201cmyself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflexive pronouns are easy to find: they end in \u201cself\u201d or \u201cselves.\u201d I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of reflexive pronouns. Listen for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Pete and Anna continue their meeting with Ms. Weaver. She puts two bags of flour on the table. Pete and Anna still look confused.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Weaver: Here are your babies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: Those are bags of flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Weaver: No, Pete, for the next six days, this is your baby. Here are your instructions. Do not leave your babies alone. A baby cannot take care of itself. And you two must do everything by yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will meet next Friday. Oh, and the person who does the best research will get an extra day of vacation. Help yourself to a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Pete, look, my baby is organic and whole grain. Your baby is ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Pete pushes her flour baby off desk.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: (to Pete) Monster! (to Caty) This is a great idea, Ms. Weaver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Pete and Anna are now outside.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: This is a terrible idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Speak for yourself, Pete! We need to throw ourselves into the research! I\u2019m starting right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(She leaves but forgets her Flour Baby.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: Hey Anna, you forgot your baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(She turns and looks at Pete.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Come to mama!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(The bag of flour flies at her. She catches it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Good girl! Good girl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Bot: Singular reflexive pronouns end in \u201cself.\u201d Plural ones end in \u201cselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna says, \u201cWe need to throw ourselves into the research!\u201d The subject \u201cwe\u201d is plural. So, we must use the plural reflexive pronoun \u201courselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(The parenting research begins. Anna tries to open a baby stroller but can\u2019t. A man walking by helps her. She pushes Flour Baby in the stroller but it falls out. On another day, she jogs with it. After several days, she is tired!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: This is hard! I hope Pete is not doing well. I really need that vacation day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Bot: We will all see how Pete is doing in the next episode. We\u2019ll also learn when not to use reflexive pronouns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conversation Ms. Weaver: Anna, Pete, I have a new assig &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/2022\/09\/24\/lesson-17-flour-baby-part-1\/\" class=\"more-link\">\u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">\u201cLesson 17: Flour Baby, Part 1\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3289"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3289"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3292,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3289\/revisions\/3292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.360abc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
