MONDAY AND TUESDAY ASSESSMENT REVIEW AND REVISION

Today we will review and revise your assessment.  There is still confusion in some areas.

Then you will revise your writing by

1) applying what you have learned about sentences and
2) working on your goal

I meet with each of you to discuss your revision strategy.

Here are a couple of self-analysis sheets to help you figure out what you did well and what you didn't do so well, and how you might get better at understanding what you got incorrect.

REVIEWING MY RESULTS.  HOW DID I DO?

HERE IS A SLIDE SHOW TO HELP YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THE FOUR DIFFERENT SENTENCE STRUCTURES - simple, complex, compound, and complex/compound

Simple, Compound, Complex, Compound Complex Sentences from guest2e9cea2a

A Sentence Is Like A House

A SENTENCE IS LIKE A HOUSE. IT NEEDS CERTAIN COMPONENTS TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

·       IT NEEDS A SOLID FOUNDATION, WITHOUT IT, THERE IS NO HOUSE.

·       A FRAME, WALLS, AND A ROOF ARE THE BASICS AND WHAT MAKES THE HOUSE HABITABLE.

·       AND DECORATIONS TO ENSURE ITS BEAUTY AND TO REFLECT OUR PERSONALITIES

WHY IS A SENTENCE LIKE A HOUSE? BECAUSE IT, TOO, NEEDS ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.

·       THE FOUNDATION OF A SENTENCE IS THE SUBJECT AND PREDICATE – WITHOUT THEM, THERE IS NO SENTENCE.

·       THE FRAME, THE WALLS, AND THE ROOF OF A SENTENCE ARE THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT CLAUSES AND ALL THE VARIOUS SENTENCES WE CAN MAKE OUT OF THEM.

·       AND THE DECORATIONS ARE THE FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE DEVICES WE USE TO MAKE SENTENCES NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT REFLECT OUR WRITER’S VOICE.
