Day One

January 8, 2014

Learning Goals:Learning Goals:• Critically take Cornell notes and

participate in class discussion during an overview of Types of Sentences (fragments vs. simple sentences & clauses).

• Classify a sentence as a group based on its subject and verb to determine whether it is a fragment or simple sentence.

CORNELL NOTES PAGECORNELL NOTES PAGETake a Cornell notes page from the middle of your table.

What does sentence structure matter to a reader or writer?

TYPES OF TYPES OF SENTENCES:SENTENCES:

SUBJECTS & VERBSSUBJECTS & VERBS-In order to fully understand the difference between a fragment and a simple sentence, we need to review what constitutes a SUBJECT and a VERB.

SUBJECTSSUBJECTSA subject of a sentence is a:

•NOUN - person, place, thing, or idea

•PRONOUN – non-specific word that replaces a noun•

The subject is who or what does the verb

• Mrs. Stoller assigns us homework.

•She assigns us homework.

VERBSVERBS-The action that is being performed by the subject.

•STRONG VERBS – tells what the subject is doing

•LINKING/HELPING VERBS – what we know as “weak” verbs (is, are, were)•Linking verbs connect the subject to something that is said about the subject.

•Helping verbs help the verb do its job.

Ex: Ron's bathroom is a disaster.

NOUN PRONOUN

STRONG VERB LINKING/HELPING VERB

FRAGMENTSFRAGMENTSA fragment is formed when:

a subject is missing

a verb is missing

a complete thought is not expressed

SIMPLE SENTENCESIMPLE SENTENCE• has one subject-verb pair and

expresses a complete thought

• Mrs. Stoller is teaching us how to vary our sentence structure.

• Classify an independent and dependent clause.

What is a What is a CLAUSECLAUSE??

A clause is a group of words with its own subject and verb.

*The subject is performing the verb

Ex> Joe ran home.S V

Two Kinds of ClausesTwo Kinds of Clauses• An independent clause is a subject/verb group that forms a complete sentence.

• A dependent (or subordinate) clause is a subject/verb group that depends on more [an independent clause] to make it a complete sentence.
