Learning through Imitation “Why are the sentences of great authors more interesting, more memorable than the sentences of most people? One big reason is that their sentences are not monotonously alike. A huge difference is the ways those authors build their sentences (Killgallon, Grammar for High School).” “Writers learn to write by paying a certain sort of attention to the works of their great predecessors in the medium of written language, as well as by Unscramble the parts to imitate the model sentence • • MODEL: Dumpster diving is outdoor work, often surprisingly, pleasant. – Sometimes quite costly – Is recreational activity – Mall strolling MODEL: Near the cab, idling in front of the mortuary, was a huge Oldsmobile. – Was a skittering gecko – Behind the pool – Zigzagging in back of the cabana Unscramble the parts to imitate the model sentence • MODEL: Dumpster diving is outdoor work, often surprisingly, pleasant. – Mall strolling is recreational activity, sometimes quite costly. • MODEL: Near the cab, idling in front of the mortuary, was a huge Oldsmobile. – Behind the pool, zigzagging in back of the cabana, was a skittering gecko. • Combine the following sentences to create a sentence that imitates the model • MODEL: Twisting and punching and kicking, the two boys rolled across the floor. – The winning team was laughing and yelling and celebrating – The team cavorted – The cavorting was inside the locker room. • MODEL: He fell back, exhausted, his ankle pounding. – She raced fast. – She was determined. – Her lungs were bursting.

What are the main parts of a sentence? The two most basic parts of a sentence are • Subject • Predicate However, there is another important part, which we will learn. It is known as a: • SentenceComposing Tools What’s a Subject? • The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that is performing the action of the sentence. The subject represents what or whom the sentence is about. • The Wife of the Uncle of W.D. Fard walked to the store. • The Honorable Elijah Muhammad loves the Blackman and woman. • Today, I am exhausted. What’s a Predicate? • The predicate expresses action or being within the sentence. The simple predicate contains the verb and can also contain modifying words, phrases, or clauses. • The Wife of the Uncle of W.D. Fard walked to the store. • The Honorable Elijah Muhammad loves the Blackman and woman. • Today, I am exhausted. If a group of words is missing a subject or predicate, it is NOT a sentence! Wednesday Root Word Quiz (verbal) Breakout Groups - Quiz will be verbal. Sentences • A Sentence expresses a complete thought. • Every sentence must have a subject and a predicate. • But the BEST sentences should have sentence composing tools. • A tool is a sentence part that can be removed from the sentence without destroying the grammar of a sentence. It: • Adds detail • Adds Style For example, Rahima sat by herself, her highnecked flower-print dress looking out of place among the Levi’s, denim skirts, and pearl-button shirts. What’s the Subject/Predicate/Tool in the following sentences? • On her monthly visits, dressed in stone marten furs, diamonds, and spike heels, which constantly caught between loose floorboards, she forced smiles and held her tongue. • Disgustingly, cadavers and dead rats and frogs appeared, hidden in his locker about three months earlier. Disgustingly, cadavers and dead rats and frogs appeared, hidden in his locker about three months earlier. Carrie looked up, her eyes dazed from the heat and the steady, pounding roar of the water from the shower. Carrie looked up, her eyes dazed from the heat and the steady, pounding roar of the water from the shower.

Out of breath from running, we three stood, staggering, coughing. Out of breath from running, we three stood, staggering, coughing. Opening Adjective An adjective at the beginning of a sentence. An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun to make the sentence clearer and more specific. Opening Adjective Definition: An adjective at the beginning of a sentence An adjective is any descriptive word that that can fit into this blank: Sam is a __________ student. Examples of adjectives: happy, sad, angry, sneaky, polite, discouraged An adjective phrase begins with an adjective and then continues the description. Examples of adjective phrases: •happy to be home •angry about his bad grade •polite to everyone but her mother •sad because her pet died Examples of opening adjectives t iv e c e j d ing a n e p O Happy, the young actress accepted the audience’s cheers. ase r h p ective j d a in g Open Disappointed that they lost, the team trudged off the field. IMPORTANT NOTES 1. Put a COMMA after the opening adjective, whether it is a single word or a phrase. Happy the young actress accepted the audience’s cheers. 2. The adjective or adjective phrase MUST describe the subject of the sentence. Disappointed that they lost, the team trudged off the field.he ft o ”. t c m e j a ub is “te s e Th ence t sen Identify the Opening Adjective Wordless, we split up.  Cold, dark, and windowless, it stretched the length of the house.  Afraid that we might hunt for a cheaper apartment for the next two weeks and find nothing better than this one, we took it.  Opening Adjectives: Practice Choose the best adjective/adjective phrase to complete the sentence. 1. ____________, the bearded old man pounded his fist on the table and shouted at the cowering waiter. a.

Shiny as a new penny, YOU TRY IT: On separate paper, •write two sentences with opening adjectives • and two sentences with opening adjective phrases Theme is often more than one word and is the moral of the story The Importance of Family Lit Term #1 – Theme – Theme is an insight about Human life that’s revealed in a literary work. – The theme is the underlying message that the author wants to convey, whereas the main idea is what the story is mostly about. – Theme is rarely stated by the author – Good literature often has lots of possible provable themes. – Think: What is the author’s message to me? The Tortoise and the Hare A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. "Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a mocking laugh. "Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it." The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time. Practice – What is the theme in The Tortoise and the Hare Thursday Close Reading, Opening Adjectives, CLOSE READING & ANNOTATIO NS TODAY ’ S OBJECTIVES • What does it mean to close read? • What is a summary? • What/when/how should I annotate? • What can I gain from close reading an annotating a text? • “Reading makes you wise, writing makes you exact” WHAT IS CLOSE READING? "A close reading is a careful and purposeful reading. Well actually, it’s rereading. It’s a careful and purposeful rereading of a text. It’s an encounter with the text where students really focus on what the author had to say, what the author’s purpose was, what the words mean, and what the structure of the text tells us. In a close reading, [...] students reread the text. [They answer] questions; text dependent questions that require that they go back into the text and search for answers. These aren’t simply recall questions, just the facts of the text, but rather questions that allow students to think about the text, and the author’s purpose, the structure, and the flow of the text. Close reading requires that students actually think and WHY? • Depth = Understanding • Understanding for development, for argument/evidence, and for logic QUESTIONS • What is close reading? • What should students ask while close reading? • Why should we close read? WHAT TO DO • Identify: Author, Title, Source, Type of Text, Context, Purpose • Summarize: Theme, Main Ideas, Storyline • Specify: Who, What, When, Where, How, Why ACTIVE READING WHAT ’ S GOING ON? Annotation is a note of any form made while reading text. “Reading with a pencil.” ANNOTATION slows down the reader in order to deepen understanding. •Annotation Annotation is not highlighting. • Underline confusing words and phrases. • Circle powerful words/phrases • Use a question mark (?) for questions that you have during the reading. Be sure to write your question. • Use an exclamation mark (!) for things that surprise you, and briefly note what it was that caught your attention. • Draw an arrow (↵) when you make a connection to something inside the text, or to an idea or experience outside the text. Briefly note your connections. “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes What happens a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
