Weaving Setting Descriptions into RF Stories

Needed for Today: Make a copy of this file. Sentence Errors

Lesson Recap.
Grammar
Today, you learned how to write even more advanced sentences by using the compound-complex approach. Use this video to review this sentence construction.

Writing
Today, you saw how setting can be delicately woven into a story in a way that communicates how the character feels.



H/W All Classes. (Due: Next Mon)

1) You need to write  8 sentences that come directly from your RF story. (You can lift the sentences directly from your story)
x2 simple
x2 compound (Avoid using the  IC ;CA, IC technique here. Why?)
x2 complex
x2 compound-complex
Write these sentences inside your Unit 7 Sentence Clauses Grammar Unit - Independent Practice section Mini Lesson 8 (Link is for your reference)
The purpose of this H/W is simply to ensure that you are integrating the grammar into your writing. Really, you are writing these sentences anyway, so you should not have anything additional to write.
(notice anything about the above sentence? +1)

2) You should have written between one and two  pages of your RF by Mon.

E/F & C/D Classes
Reminders: 45 mins of total Membean  for this week. Due for Fri (that's just 20mins at home)
Book Club Reading: Tuesday's class, you will write your 'thought entry'
(Zack and David - you are fishbowling on Tue)

  1. What is IC ;CA, IC technique?
    I thought that Compound Complex sentences were really hard, but know I know that there are 2 independent clauses and 1 dependent clause. They are just a mix of Compound and Complex sentences.
    Thank You for giving us time to work on our scenes today!

    The sentence above is a complex sentence I think.

  11. 'Really, you are writing these sentences anyway, so you should not have anything additional to write.' This sentence is compound as both clauses are independent and you used a coordinating conjunction (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.). Hopefully I was correct!

    This is a Compound Sentence because it uses SO which is a F.A.N.B.O.Y.
