  4. ACT Prep August 27 • Semicolons (the second most test punctuation mark) • Use the IPAD to research the 5 Semicolon Rules. • You will have 10 minutes. • Once we have worked individually, we will build a class list just as we did with comma’s. • Use your rules to complete the work on this interactive webpage: http://www2.ivcc.edu/rambo/practice_semicolon_quiz.htm • Now work on your own and check your understanding: • http://www.englishforeveryone.org/PDFs/Semicolons%20-%20practice%20quiz.pdf

  5. Today is the last day we will work with sub./verb problems. Tomorrow comma vs. semicolons. English IV August 28, 2013 • Bellringer: Rewrite the sentence, correcting all o the subject/verb agreement errors. You will only correct the verbs. When you are finished count the number of verbs you had to fix. • Everyone who go to horror movies have some reason for spending good money on a bad experience. And nobody denies that those two hours in the theater feels, in fact, perfectly ghastly. Most of the people who comes out looking dazed and paranoid eagerly agrees that the movie were really awful and that they can't wait for the next one. Why do they do this to themselves?

  6. AP English August 28, 2013 • How was yesterday? • Any words or phrases that we need to add to our list? • “The Destructors” • Finish the group work that we started on Monday. • Discussion questions on page 124: 4, 5, 6, 7( first part only). • Plot and Structure Discussion

  7. Plot and Structure Discussion • In your group complete the following: • Consider each type of conflict. Provide a short story or novel title that makes use of each type of conflict and briefly explain the plot as it relates to the conflict. • As a group describe one COMMERCIAL work in which you have felt cheated by the ending. ** Why do we react negatively to implausible endings? (3) In your group come up with three story titles that you have all read. For each story list the protagonist, the antagonist, one conflict, and the type of ending.

  8. Make sure you know: • Artistic Unity: • Plot Manipulation: • Deux ex machina (latin): • Ultimately, why is plot so important?

  9. ACT Prep August 28, 2013 • Reviewing Semicolon Rules: • On a sheet of paper (to turn in for grade): write a sentence that is an example for each Semicolon Rule we discussed yesterday in class. • Check your work from yesterday. • Complete the Interactive Semicolon Rule Quiz.

  10.

  11. English IV – 3rd PeriodAugust 29, 2013 • Bellringer: • go to and read: http://lilt.ilstu.edu/golson/punctuation/comma.html • Complete: http://www.chompchomp.com/hotpotatoes/commas01.htm • Finish your Edgenuity Pretest. • If you are finished, start the vocabulary activity.

  13. English IV August 30, 2013 • Honors Bellringer: • http://www2.ivcc.edu/eng1002/practice_comma_quiz.htm • You must understand the difference between a restrictive and nonrestrictive clause. • Understanding the difference between restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses. • The suspect in the lineup who has red hair committed the crime. • The suspect in the lineup, who owns a red car, committed the crime. Restrictive means ESSENTIAL. The information following the subject is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If a clause is restrictive it DOES NOT require commas. Remember a comma hug means that the information can be removed and the meaning of the sentence is not changed.
