Highlighting

1: Capote prompts were collected today, and then the rest of the hour was dedicated to syntax, its 6 sentence types, its punctuation rules, and everything related to the further development of your syntactical rhetorical analysis and writing structure. If you look at the blog from 2 days ago, all of the items for syntax are listed - with links of examples - throughout first, third, and fifth hour. For homework, write 2 original sentences for each of the 6 sentence types - be creative, tell a story, be goofy - just make sure to label the syntax for me.

3: At the beginning of class, I collected your original sentences, and we shall see if they are as clever, creative, and "interesting" as fifth hour's version. For the rest of the class, we worked with identifying syntax via highlighting clauses. Finish up the handout on syntax for Monday's class, and we will see how you do with the remaining ones (be watchful for those mid-sentence independent clauses).

5: Syntax continues forward as we spent half the class highlighting clauses and identifying types of syntax. Afterwards, we looked at how you can break down sentences for what the clauses are doing (for instance, modes of discourse). For homework, complete part II handout, highlighting clauses and identifying sentence types.
