Cindy Syntax Continues

First things first, the next close reading club will be Tuesday after school for any students wanting to close read with each other and me for a half hour. We will be including syntax analysis too -- as syntax week continues forward.

And, don't forget the big comma rules that we worked on today: compound sentences require a comma before that FANBOYS https://www.englishgrammar101.com/module-11/punctuation-end-marks-and-commas/lesson-5/commas-in-compound-sentences; complex sentences beginning with a dependent clause need a comma before progressing to the independent clauses https://www.englishgrammar101.com/module-11/punctuation-end-marks-and-commas/lesson-6/commas-in-complex-sentences.

1: We copied down the next unit of vocab, number 14. Afterwards, we reviewed clauses, syntax types, and comma rules for compound & complex sentences. To wrap up the hour, we returned to Cindy and looked at the purposes of each section. Alas, we did not finish the purpose portion of the day, so we will finish that on Monday.

3 & 4: We began with our traditional vocab experts, moved into a review of clauses, syntax types, and comma rules, and then finished up the purpose of our Cindy passage. In groups, you then worked on clarifying the main purposes of the text, and then decided who would become a syntax expert for each form of syntax. Starting this weekend, continuing onto Monday's class in groups, and due on Tuesday, you each have a section of the text that you will use to highlight your assigned syntax type (or types for those 3 people in fourth hour). You will also look for other forms of syntax including telegraphic, declarative, imperative, interrogative, exclamatory, fragments, hypophora, ananphora, epistrophe, polysyndeton, and asyndeton. 

7: After copying down Unit 4 vocab, we reviewed all those clauses, syntax types, and comma rules for compound and complex sentences. Afterwards, we spent quality time wrapping up the purpose of Cindy Syntax and dividing into groups.
