  2. Opening Review • What is the difference between an independent and a dependent clause? • What is the difference between a simple and compound sentence? • What is a complex sentence?

  3. Opening • Review Complex Sentence Homework (Number 1 starts with National Youth Service Day …)

  4. Opening • Compound-Complex Sentences: contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. • Ex. When our school celebrates Earth Day, we sign up for environmental projects, and we try to complete them all in one day.

  5. Opening • Compound-Complex Sentences: contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. • Ex. When our school celebrates Earth Day, we sign up for environmental projects, andwe try to complete them all in one day.

  6. Opening Simple = 1 IC and no DC Compound = 2+ IC and no DC Complex = 1 IC and 1+ DC Compound-Complex = 2+ IC and 1+ DC

  7. Work Time With your partner(s): • Identify whether each sentence is Simple (S), Compound (C), Complex (CX), or Compound-Complex (CCX). • Underline the independent clause(s) once and the dependent clause(s) twice. • Partner A = odd, Partner B = even (you must explain why and agree before you can move on to the next number!) Remember: • Simple = 1 IC and no DC • Compound = 2+ IC and no DC • Complex = 1 IC and 1+ DC • Compound-Complex = 2+ IC and 1+ DC

  8. Closing • In 1998 a hurricane swept through Central America where it hit Honduras and Nicaragua especially hard. • Hurricane Mitch was one of the strongest storms ever in this region; it caused a great destruction. • People on the coast tried to flee to higher ground, but flooding and mudslides made escape difficult. • More than 9,000 people were killed, and crops were wiped out. • TV images of homeless and hungry people touched many Americans who responded generously.

  9. Closing • Many were shocked at the devastation. • They donated money and supplies, which were flown to the region. • Volunteers helped clear roads so that supplies could get to villages that needed them. • Charity groups distributed food and safe drinking water, and they handed out sleeping bags and mosquito nets, which were needed in the tropical climate. • Medical volunteers treated people who desperately needed care.

  10. Closing • Other volunteers rebuilt homes, and they helped restore the farm economy so that people could earn a living again. • Life began to return to normal with the help of many generous people.

  11. Closing • What is the difference between a simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentence?
