While it is worthwhile to note that a sentence is short or long, the AP graders do like to see you use your terminology to describe syntax. For sentence analysis, it is all about the clauses and differentiating between independent and dependent clauses. Hence, we grabbed our highlighters today for clause identification before delving into the syntactical terms. Here are the 6 terms we will study in the upcoming days, and which you will include in your future syntactical analysis: simple, compound, complex, compound-complex, cumulative, and periodic.
For homework this evening, you are to create 2 original examples for each type of syntax. I will be using these to create quizzes and practices in the future.
And, I almost forgot to remind you of Vocab Quiz 13 tomorrow. Make sure you study your words since you know I will be throwing in past terms from units 11 & 12.
