12. Let’s take another look at these Sentence Structures • Ten Commandments style • As we review these, please put a star next to one you still have questions and doubts about • For you to get everything out of this, it is pivotal you are honest with yourself.

14. Commandment 2: Thou shalt remember a simple sentence is one independent clause, even if it has multiple subjects and verbs. • Simple-Malaysia and Jaylinstudied and dominated their quiz.

16. Commandment 4:Thou shalt connect independent clauses in the following ways to create a compound sentence: • 1. comma fanboys (Ex. Ashtonwants a dance for underclassmen, and hewill make it happen.) • 2. semicolon (Ex. Ashtonwants a dance for underclassmen; hewill make it happen.) • 3. semicolon, transitional word, comma (Ex. Ashtonwants a dance for underclassmen; therefore, hewill make it happen.

17. Commandment 5:Thou shalt remember that a complex sentence is one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. • Weweren’t hungry for dinner because weate lunch late.

22. Commandment 10:Thou shalt always use the following steps when identifying the sentence structure: • 1. Identify the verb • 2. Identify the subject • 3. Determine if clause is dependent or independent • 4. Tally up the clauses to determine structure

23. Hopefully that cleared up some questions! • To show me that you’ve got this, you must finish the back side of the Ten Commandments for homework! (due tomorrow!)

24. TKAM Let’s go over our questions from yesterday. Let’s focus on an important issue. • Using direct and indirect characterization describe how Scout’s personality acts as a catalyst in the novel. • How does race impact the people in Maycomb County.

36. How to write a speech Getting Started on the Speech • Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. Fold it in half again. And once more. Quickly, there’s no time to waste! Now, tear along the folds. Either way, you now have eight pieces of paper, and hopefully a pen. • You’re ready to start.

37. Step 1 Who is the Speech for… • Always begin with the audience. What do you know about them? What do they know about you? Write down a few bullet points on the first piece of paper. Who you are, in the context of how it is relevant to the audience. • If you need to poll the audience write your question down on a separate sheet of paper to pass around.

38. Step 2 What is the Speech for… Does the audience or the person who invited you have an expectation of what you will talk about? Be sure to meet it, or cover it as best you can. Failing to do so will definitely drop your grade.

39. Step 3 Now think about what will be in the speech. Let your brain free wheel for a minute. Write each of your main ideas on one of the remaining pieces of paper. Don’t worry about them being exactly what was on your outline.

40. Step 4 Research suggests that we can deal with 7 things in our head at once, plus or minus two. So mark the arguments you feel are the strongest. Put a different mark on the ones you think will go over best with your class mates

41. Review others We are going to watch the intro to another speech. Pay attention to just the first few sentences How does she start her debate? What evidence do you have that can be used in the same way?

42. Review others Remember when we talked about definitions….. What does she define – how will that help her argument? What does she do after defining her words? Make a list on one of your pieces of paper of all the words you think you should define.

43. HW • Go home and find working definitions (that you can use) for all the words you just wrote down.

44. TKAM Jim Crow vsMaycom County How real is this book?

45. Think, Pair, Share With a partner go through and analyze different interactions between white and black people in this book – do they match what you read about in the Jim Crow article yesterday? Prepare 1-2 points to share with the class. You have 10 mins.

46. Good morning!! Something to Think about: What is better - eternal bliss or a simple bread? What is better than eternal bliss? Nothing. But a slice of bread is better than nothing. So a slice of bread is better than eternal bliss.

47. AGENDA A slim crocodile living in the Nile took a child. His mother begged to have him back. The crocodile could not only talk, but was also a great sophist and stated, "If you guess correctly what I will do with him, I will return him. However, if you don't predict his fate correctly, I'll eat him." What statement should the mother make to save her child?
