Setnence Fluency Test Practice

Next Fridaty's test is OPEN BOOK and OPEN NOTES. You may bring ANYTHING you create into the test room with you. The trick is studying 'smart' and looking for the red flags that give you the clues to the answer
e.g. what words do you need to be highlighting if you are trying to decide whether something is compound or complex?
e.g. what's the difference between a semi colon and a comma?
e.g what are the four charateristics of both compound and complex sentences?
e.g. how can you learn from the mistakes you made in your worksheets?
 You are expected to spend about 10 mins every night next week practicing these exercises and playing these games below.

Mr. Buxton,
When I finish my skit should I bold the compound, complex ect. sentences? I know we need to do that for our vocabulary words. Thank You!

kennedy- All of these exercises helped me a lot, and I know on Friday I will be ready for the test. I also just watched the movie on the top of your page and that helps me a lot too.

The video content was what we did last year: Jamestown!! I've noticed lots of words have common latin roots, for example, mem: memento, memo, memory, member, remember, memorize, COOL!!

Andrew Egge said...

on 1 of the websites they forgot to put in commas before the FANBOYS!AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Also, on one of them, there was something about complete subjects and complete predicates that we have not gone over in class, but I still did it and got them all right! WOOOHHHHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!:)
