• To combine words or groups of words:

• Joaquin and I studied Navajo weaving and cloth making.

• She hung the Navajo blanket on the wall and then stepped back to admire it.

• To combine independent clauses:

• The loom broke, yet the weaver continued her work.

*Conjunctions are used to connect words or groups of words

CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS

• Always in pairs

• Both…and, neither…nor, whether…or, either…or, not only… but also

• For Example:

• He made neither that blanket nor that rug.

• Both gold and silver bracelets were considered.

• Brenda purchased either a Navajo bracelet or a Navajo blanket.

SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

• After, although, as, as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order that, lest, now that, since, so that, than, though, till, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, while

• For Example:

• Because Carol practices, she is a good artist.

• Traditionally, Navajo men work as silversmiths, while the women are weavers.

CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS

• Adverb that acts as a conjunction

• For Example:

• They had never been on a reservation before. Indeed, they had never been far away from home.

• It had rained during their visit; consequently, the outdoor Navajo art exhibit was canceled.

CONJUNCTION, PREPOSITION OR ADVERB?

• Subordinating conjunctions connect complete ideas.

• She started to weave before she turned ten.

• Prepositions tell location/direction

• The weaver starts work before sunrise.

• Adverbs describe verbs, adj. and adv.

• Have you ever watched a weaver make a blanket before?

WHY DO YOU CARE?

• Properly using conjunctions in your writing will vastly improve your flow and style.

• Conjunctions work as transitions.

• Transitions are essential to good writing!

• Transition between hook and thesis

• Transition between each paragraph

• Transition between each illustration (example) within the body paragraph

• Transition between thesis and concluding statement

QUICK CHECK (W&G PG. 270 EX. 18)• Identify the conjunctions and label them as subordinating,

coordinating or coorelative. • Are you familiar with the Navajo art of sandpainting or drypainting?

• Even though it has its roots in Navajo ceremonies, sandpainting is also a commercial art form.

• Most scholars agree that the Navajos borrowed the idea of sandpainting and changed it to fit with their own ideas.

• Because early sandpaintings were not permanent, there is little evidence to prove how this process occurred.

• This sandpainting is both permanent and colorful.
