  1. EQ: How does an author's use of sentence structure impact the meaning of the text? Standard: ELACC6L3a Vary sentence patterns for meaning, reader/listener interest, and style.

  2. Compound sentence: two simple sentences combined with a coordinating conjunction. Ex: "Mr. Van Daan has made a candlestick, so that too was all properly arranged." Complex sentence: a dependent clause and an independent clause combined with a subordinating conjunction. Ex: "It was rotten of us, because I for one am quite sure that I would have screamed even louder."

  3. How to combine simple sentences to make them more interesting and meaningful: Ex: My brother likes to read. I like to read. We like to when it's quiet. Combine them: My brother and I like to read when it's quiet. Ex: Anne studies French at the table. Margot studies Latin at the table. Combine them: At the table, Anne studies French, and Margot studies Latin.

  4. Your turn! 1. Margot is the prettiest. Margot is the sweetest. Margot is the most beautiful girl in the world. "Margot is the prettiest, sweetest, most beautiful girl in the world." 2. The whole day long we unpacked boxes. The whole day long we filled cupboards. We hammered and titied, until we were dead beat. " The whole day long we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards, hammered and tidied, until we were dead beat."

  5. Welcome to Hiding Imagine that you are a Jew who has had to go into hiding immediately. You have not had time to tell your parents or friends where you have gone. Write a letter to your parents and family, providing a detailed message as to what has gone wrong and what has happened to you.

  6. After finishing your letter, highlight the simple sentences you have used. Combine some of these simple sentences and create compound and complex sentences to vary the structure of your letter. You must have used at least four compound sentences and four complex sentences. Once you are finished, compare your letter with a partner to ensure that your sentences are correct.
