IF YOU DON'T RECALL WHAT A SUBJECT OR PREDICATE is, then this week will be your final chance to sort that out before shipping off to college and life post-New Trier. We will finish our dip in the waters of sentence combining, and will then begin workshopping your essays on individual friends.

Monday

We are going to practice analyzing student sentences for subject and predicate construction. We will begin checking our work in class, and will then finish with a blank cartoon writing exercise focusing on subject and predicate.
HW: Finish the sentence predicate practice, if not done.

Tuesday

Journal entry: your other friend in your idyll of Spring. We will check the second half of your subject predicate exercise, continue to discuss how to identify the main components of sentence structure. We will then review one last method of sentence diagramming, this one fairly bare bones, and go back to the sentence diagrams from "Tales of the Tyrant."
HW: Finish writing the first draft of your other friend essay. This should be a characterization, emphasis being on person.

Wednesday

The return on the Standard Deviants in a sentence part review. After watching the video, you should read through the following review from the Scope English Level One Grammar & Composition.
HW: If you didn't turn in the first draft of the friend essay today, please turn it in tomorrow. Turn in your scan/photo of your diagrammed tyrant sentence to the drop>english>easton folder on the N: drive by class. You can access this either using wed/dav/nav on your ipad, or by using a networked computer here at school.

Thursday

Work-shopping the individual essays. Revisions are due one week after they have been workshopped.
HW: You should complete and submit your diagram of your sentence selected from the top 100 first sentences in novels. Drop that in the drop folder, just as you did with the tyrant diagram.

Friday

Work-shopping the individual essays. Please remember to turn in your revision with the top three feedback notes with your revision.
HW: We will finish workshopping the essays next week. You should come in to class with a list of five non-fiction books of your choosing. Criteria: must be more than 299 pages in length; must have been reviewed either by _________________________.
