O.k. I admit the blog title is a little saucy and probably not completely accurate regarding the analysis of sentence structure, but it does offer alliteration and what (maybe?) syntax analysis could become if handled with maturity and originality. Our syntax work covers clauses (i.e. the determinants of syntax), punctuation (or how you should be writing your own sentences), and, most importantly, the sentence types for rhetorical analysis (or the big 6 that fit the majority of structures).
1: We finished our evaluations of the Capote prompt, a favorable exercise in writing and reviewing with the 1-6 system. Then, we copied down unit 14 vocab, which will commence during the block day. Last, we started our syntax unit with the types of clauses, subordinating and coordinating conjunctions, and simple and compound sentences. We will review all of that and return to more syntax.
3: After regrouping with your Capote prompt partners, we began the reading and evaluation portion of the assignment. That will continue on the block day.
4: We copied down unit 14 vocab and then completed our evaluations of the Capote prompt. Syntax will start tomorrow - so be ready for almost 90 minutes of sentences.
7: We started vocab experts for unit 14, reviewed all of the syntax, punctuation, and clauses from last class, and then continued forward with syntax. At this point, you have knowledge of what not to do (comma splices) and what to do with complex sentences, colons, and transitions. At the end of class, you started work on a punctuation practice that we will finish up next time around.
