1: We copied down the next unit of vocab to start on Thursday. We then reviewed Syntax Part I and completed Syntax Part II to practice identifying those 6 sentence types. Between those handouts, we discussed other forms of syntax that you could analyze, how to break down cumulative and periodic sentences to uncover the purposes of the respective clauses, and how to incorporate evidence into a paragraph. For our next class, we will take all the aforementioned components of syntax and bring them into a text.
3: After vocab experts we looked at how you can incorporate syntactical evidence into paragraphs - without dumping long sentences that would distract your reader and possibly cause you hand cramps in the process. We then checked Syntax Part II as we continue to identify the 6 main forms of syntax. Last, we read the opening chapter of Cinderella Ate My Daughter, identified all the purposes throughout the text, and then worked in groups to highlight sentence types. On Thursday, we will rejoin back into those groups to check on the highlighting and the syntax patterns.
5: We were a focused group on Tuesday - vocab experts, identifying the remaining purposes of Cinderella Ate My Daughter, broke into groups to highlight varying forms of syntax and shared that info with classmates, and discussed patterns of syntax and the overall purposes of the text - for some reason or another :)
