1: After collecting your 12 syntax examples, we returned back to the world of punctuation rules via a practice activity and to the world of 6 syntax types via highlighting clauses and identifying the respective syntax. For homework, finish Fifth Hour Syntax Part I - make sure you do highlight the clauses to help you recognize the syntax.
3: After copying down our next unit of vocab - yes, unit 14 and not unit 4, we looked over Fifth Hour Syntax Part I, noting the different types of clauses to help us identify the respective syntax. Next up, we looked at sample sentences in the textbook to identify the purposes of independent and dependent clauses. Last, you were reminded that even though syntax is all about those 6 types, you may still bring in sentence types, length, intention, and parallelism as well. For homework, complete Fifth Hour Syntax Part II with all of the highlighting included.
5: After copying down unit 14 vocab, we looked at other forms of syntax that can be found in texts for analysis and how to incorporate syntactical evidence into paragraphs. As noted in the examples, it's all about taking simple sentences and compounding or complexing your own writing; it's all about breaking down complicated cumulative sentences by clauses and purposes. At the end of the hour, we started reading a chapter from Cinderella Ate My Daughter, which allowed us to indicate the purposes present in the text. Finish reading the text and identifying the purposes for sharing tomorrow.
