REVISED: Homework for the Week

We were supposed to build upon the eight sentence patterns, but after reading the rewritten paragraphs about Abigail's character, I felt it necessary to work on two more points: topic and structure. Thus, our grammar lessons had to be postponed until I could get you to write exactly how I expect you to. Also, tomorrow (Friday, October 16th), third period has an assembly. To keep both classes on the same page, you will have had to have read to page 138 (John Proctor's line: "God in Heaven, what is John Proctor?") by Monday. Your test on both the book and the vocabulary will be given on Tuesday of next week.

Sorry for any inconveniece/confusion this may have caused. Stay tuned and we will pick up on the eight sentence structures soon...

Homework for the Week

During class, we will be focused on discussing the eight sentence patterns. We will delve into the world of conjunctions, and I need to be very involved in watching you work with your writing. Thus, you will only be reading this week for homework. On Friday, you must have read to page 138 (John Proctor's line: "God in Heaven, what is John Proctor?"). Your test on both the book and the vocabulary will be given on Monday of next week.

Homework and Sentence Structure Worksheet

HOMEWORK: After you finish reading Act II of The Crucible, write a paragraph discussing John Proctor's relationship with his wife: Elizabeth. I have no specific idea for you to prove. I simply want you to think about what you have to say about the topic. However, this isn't just any paragraph. I want you to focus on trying to experiment with each of the eight sentence types. You can find the notes directly below in two forms: Microsoft Word document (you can copy and paste this into Word) and JPEG (you can print this directly, but the page order that's displayed is backwards)

GUIDELINES:

Make sure to separate the sentences in list form, leaving extra spaces between each.

Identify the sentence pattern, using the “Eight Sentence Patterns” notes (see attached).

Bring this to class on Tuesday and it may just count for your quiz… ;-)
