weekend HW
May 11, 2012
First off, BRAVO on your performances this week. I was amazed at the creativity and hard work that went into your performances!
As you know, in addition to literal, interpretive and evaluative questions about poetry, nonfiction, fiction, and drama, your end of course assessment will also have grammar questions.
For this weekend, please write a sentence that includes each of the following elements:
1. semi-colon
2. colon
3. appositive phrase mid-sentence
4. appostive phrase at the end of a sentence
5. interrupted dialogue with the tag line mid-sentence
6. parallel structure
7. subordinating conjunction starting the sentence in a dependent clause and then the main clause following it
8. sensory details
9. strong verb
10. singular indefinite pronoun used with a pronoun later that correctly agrees with the indefinite pronoun
11, 12, 13. 3 sentences with titles punctuated correctly (3 different types i.e. articles, magazines, poems, etc.)
14, 15, 16. 3 sentences where each shows a different way to punctuate a sentence that has 2 independent clauses
This is a total of 16 sentences, and they are due on Monday unless you are taking an exam during our classtime on Monday; these students' sentences are due at our next classtime. Please use proper capitalization and punctuation. You can pick the topic, and the sentences do not have to all be about the same topic. Have a great weekend!
