Yep, Still Syntaxing (That's Probably Not a Verb)

1 & 4: After vocab experts, we reviewed our syntax types and our 11 modes of discourse to prepare for our look at cumulative and periodic sentences and their clauses' purposes and to resume the identification of clauses via highlighting/underlining to ascertain what type of sentence we have on the projector or the page. Finish up page 1 of your 1st & 7th hour syntax - we will go over those tomorrow and then move into a reading selection that will ultimately crescendo into a syntactical analysis.

3: After vocab experts, you now have all 6 types of syntax, and your mission is to compose 2 sentences for each type  - hopefully sentences with a little panache and memorability. In addition, make sure you know the 11 modes of discourse.

7: After vocab work, we looked at the breakdown of cumulative and periodic sentences, and then worked with highlighting clauses on the 1st and 7th hour syntax handout. An educated guesstimate (oxymoron?) would be that we will finish page 1 in class, and you will have page 2 for homework.
