  1. English IV Unit 1 Day 20- Revision/Editing

  2. It’s Wednesday! Do-now: Independent and Dependent Clauses Review: Put into your notes if you think you need review… Independent clauses- have a subject, verb, and express a complete thought. • E.g. Ms. Stitt, my teacher, wants her students to be strong at grammar. Dependent Clauses- has a subject/verb, but does not express a complete thought. Will often start with one of these words:after, although, as, as if, because, before, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, when, whether, while. • E.g. When Ms. Stitt, my teacher, wants her students to be strong at grammar. **You DO NOT want dependent clauses- they don’t make sense by themselves.

  3. Practice: Dependent or independent? • Jim studied at Caribou Coffee for his reading quiz. • Independent- has a subject, verb, and expresses a complete thought. • When Jim was at Caribou Coffee. • Dependent: What happened at Caribou Coffee? • Although he didn’t do a lot of work. • Dependent: Starts with although and doesn’t finish the thought. • Although he didn’t do a lot of work, he was still happy he went. • Independent- expresses the rest of the sentence. • After he went to Caribou. • Dependent- what happens after he went to Caribou? Not a complete thought.

  4. Announcements: • Final drafts due TOMORROW at the beginning of class • Next journals due Monday, Mar. 24th • Outside reading/reflection due Wednesday, April 2nd • Come in to take Tattoos quiz 2: Aminata, Christine • Vocab Quiz 2: Christine, Erik C.

  5. Tip of the day: • Correct or incorrect? He threw that ball further than anyone I’ve ever seen throw it! • INCORRECT: should be farther, because it’s a distance. • Correct or incorrect? I didn’t know weather I should go outside because it’s so cold. • INCORRECT: Should be whether- debating between two choices. • TIP #15: “Fewer” refers to numbers. “Less” refers to an amount. • E.g. Why did I get fewer M&Ms than her?! GRR. (You can count M&Ms in number) • E.g. I need to drink less coffee. (You can’t count coffee in numbers)

The Notre Dame game was over, but the crowd refused to leave. • Use commas after introductory clauses, phrases, and words. • E.g. While I was eating breakfast, I checked the weather and saw that it was snowing outside!
