1, 4, 7: We read the passage from The Reader, which offered us a great deal of syntactical markers - simple, telegraphic, cumulative, polysyndeton, anaphora - plus some considerable analysis on pronoun shifts that were quite telling in the purposeful motion between objective and subjective voice. (Kudos to Caylee for bringing up that a would-be compound sentence was in 2 parts, adding to the devolving of the author's syntax with the advent of Hanna's verdict - and how that lead to our discussion of ending in fragments!). After such a reminder that you should know your syntax and be able to identify it, we looked over the fourth hour syntax handout - and its more controversial syntactical examples! Tomorrow will involve our last syntax prompt practice and then that will lead to our syntax review and syntax quest. Phew!
3: Same as first and fourth hour regarding the reading passage. However, in the syntax packets, we finished the 1/7 hour version, and you have fourth hour's for homework this evening.
