  2. Warm-Up: SAT Practice-Improving the Sentence

  3. Question #1 • One of the most common types of mistakes that inexperienced physicians make is misreading symptoms, another that occurs about as frequently is recommending inappropriate treatment. • (A) symptoms, another that occurs • (B) symptoms; another one that occurs • (C) symptoms, the other, and it occurs • (D) symptoms; another one which is occurring • (E) symptoms and also occurring

  4. Question #2 • Underestimating its value, breakfast is a meal many people skip. • (A) Underestimating its value, breakfast is a meal many people skip. • (B) Breakfast is skipped by many people because of their underestimating its value. • (C) Many people, underestimating the value of breakfast, and skipping it. • (D) Many people skip breakfast because they underestimate its value. • (E) A meal skipped by many people underestimating its value is breakfast.

  5. ANSWER #1 • Answer: B!! • Difficulty: Hard • This sentence illustrates a comma splice, the incorrect use of a comma to connect two complete sentences. Choice (B) correctly uses a semicolon to coordinate two independent clauses and form a compound sentence (while at the same time keeping verb tenses parallel). The correct sentence reads: One of the most common types of mistakes that inexperienced physicians make is misreading symptoms; another one that occurs about as frequently is recommending inappropriate treatment.

  6. ANSWER #2 • Answer: D!! • Difficulty: Medium • The problem with this sentence is that the opening phrase "underestimating its value" modifies "breakfast," not "people." The order of the words in the sentence in choice (D) does not have this problem of a misplaced modifying phrase. Choice (D) also clarifies the causal relationship between the two clauses in the sentence. None of the other choices convey the information presented in the sentence as effectively and directly as choice (D).

  7. The Iliad Book 22: “The Death of Hector” Notes • Imagery: the descriptive language that writers use to re-create sensory experiences. It is what helps you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste what is being described. • Epic Similes: (Homeric or extended simile) is a lengthy comparison of two dissimilar things using the words like or as. • Ex: “. . . like a soaring eagle launching down from the dark clouds to earth to snatch some helpless lamb or trembling hare. So Hector swooped now, swinging his whetted sword.

  8. Take out a piece of blank paper to set up a note page for The Iliad Book 22: “The Death of Hector” **Don’t forget our discussion on THEME (It’s not just one word!)**

  9. The Iliad Book 22: “The Death of Hector” Reading Purpose Question(s): 1. What is the theme of Book 22 and how is it developed? 2. How are Achilles and Hector characterized? 3. What is revealed about Greek culture? 4. Find at least one example of IMAGERY and an EPIC SIMILE as you read • Questions • Comments Text Evidence

  10. TIMES article: Deserting troops • Read and annotate the article on troops who desert their men. • As you read, think about Achilles’s reasons for leaving his men. Compare his justification with that of the men in this article. • Big Question: Is Achilles a hero who DESERVES praise, honor, glory? Or is he just DESIRING it?

  11. TIMES article on Deserting Troops • In the next discussion, we will talk about the article that you read and annotated for homework last night. • During this discussion, make sure that you are respectful of other students and their thoughts and feelings. Remember, it’s totally ok if you do not agree with someone as long as you respect their right to think differently. • Try to back up any point that you make with a reference to something that happened in The Iliad or the article.
