Write Into the Day 2-19-14 p. 34 (or your next clean page) 1 paragraph: How forgiving are you when a friend lets you down? Explain. Give an example.
Math, Literacy, and Technology Night When? Tomorrow from 7:30-8:30 PM Where? Here! RRMS How much? FREE, FREE prizes, homework passes, etc. My students: Will receive extra credit or a 100% quiz grade- sign in as Eagles Team
Today 1. Grammar Notes: Complex Sentences 2. Political Cartoon 3. Nonfiction: “What is your own big plan?”
Complex Sentences: DO NOT COPY Take notes on p. 34 under warm-up through p.35 Remember (don’t copy): A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one subordinate clause
Examples: COPY When I watch Martha Graham’s S V performances, I feel like studying dance. S V Independent clause: I feel like studying dance Subordinate clause: When I watch Martha Graham’s performances
Example 2: COPY In Gone with the Wind, when Scarlett is S V faced with near-starvation, she vows that S V she never will be hungry again. S V Independent clause: In Gone with the Wind and she vows Subordinate clauses: when Scarlett is faced with near-starvation and that she never will be hungry again
Note: COPY Independent clauses can be interrupted by subordinate clauses. Example: All of the starsthat we can see S S V without a telescopeare part of the Milky V Way galaxy. Independent clause: All of the stars are part of the Milky Way galaxy Subordinate clause: that we can see without a telescope
LASTLY: From the previous example COPY Notice in the examples that a subordinate clause can appear at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a complex sentence.
