RACE POINTERS A Answer the question more fully. Explain your thinking or provide context/background. Restating the question and answering the question can be eliminated for questions that only have 2 or 3 lines to write. The textual evidence and explanation are the priorities. Always use complete sentences!

C&E RACE Pointers When citing evidence, introduce the quote. Use phrases like, “The author states, ” or “According to the text…” You can lead into the quote by providing context. For example: After Piggy takes the conch he says, “quote. ” When explaining how the quote supports your answer, use phrases like, “This demonstrates…” or “Clearly the text shows…”

RACE Practice Question: Is Jack the bravest boy on the island? Explain. Cite your textual evidence. For example, “Quote” (Golding 82).

Homework Make sure you have handed in all assignments. Complete “Exercise 3: Proofreading. ” We will act out chapter 8 next class.

Welcome to class! Thursday, September 8, 2016 Do Now: Place your “Exercise 3: Proofreading” handout in the tray. Take out your notebook. Make three sections. Label the sections as follows: Simple Sentences Compound Sentences Complex Sentences

Simple Sentences A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb It expresses a complete thought.

Simple Sentences Examples: The baby cried for food. ^There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought. Professor Maple’s intelligent students completed and turned in their homework. ^ A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have adjectives. In this case, there are two verbs “completed” and “turned in. ” However, the sentence expresses one complete thought and therefore is a simple sentence. Megan and Max ate too much and felt

Compound Sentences A compound sentence has two independent clauses. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone because it contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Basically, a compound sentence contains two simple sentences. These independent clauses are joined by a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and a comma.

Compound Sentences Examples: The shoplifter had stolen clothes, so he ran once he saw the police. ^Both sides of the conjunction “so” are complete sentences. “The shoplifter had stolen clothes” can stand alone and so can “he ran once he saw the police. ” Therefore, this is a compound sentence. They spoke to him in English, but he responded in German. ^This is also a compound sentence that uses a

Complex Sentences A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A dependent clause either lacks a subject or a verb or has both a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought. A complex sentence always has a subordinator (as, because, since, after, although, when) or relative pronouns

Complex Sentences Examples: After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, Tim went to the gym to exercise. ^ The independent clause is ‘Tim went to the gym to exercise. ” The subordinating clause before it is dependent on the main, independent clause. If one were to say “after eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, ” it would be an incomplete thought. Opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies that privilege male accomplishments. ^ The subject is “opinionated women” and the verb is “are given. ” The first part of the sentence “opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies” is an independent clause that expresses a complete thought. The following “that privilege male accomplishments” is a relative clause that
