  1. Hello! Hope you’re having a great day!Please grab a sheet from the table and begin working. Proofread the sheet as best as you can. Thursday February 20, 2014

  2. Agenda • Go over proofreading/mini-lesson • SSR • ACE activity: Minimum Wage • Intro to cover letters/Interview Ettiquette

  3. Goals • You will be able to proofread a paragraph • You will be able to apply comma and capitalization rules • You will be able to use the ACE method to answer questions using CITATIONS from the text

  4. Capitalization (take notes) • The following should ALWAYS be capitalized: • Names of people, places, and things • The pronoun “I” • The first letter of a sentence • Titles of people and things, such as Mr., Dr., Mrs., Ms., Sir, Lady • Headlines and titles of books, movies, newspapers, etc.

  5. The Comma! • USE THE COMMA: • To separate words in a series (A.K.A. the serial comma) • With a coordinating conjunction • After an interjection • To separate multiple adjectives • When directly addressing a person

  6. Commas: Remember those? Rule #1: • Use a comma before the conjunction that joins the two main clauses of a compound sentence. • Example: I went to the store, but they were all out of chocolate milk. Rule #2: • Use commas in a series of three or more items. Use a comma after every item except the last one. • Example: We wrote letters to the President,read in our literature circles, and participated in discussions.

  7. More Comma Rule Reviews Rule #3: • Use commas between two or more adjectives of equal rank. The adjectives are of equal rank if you can substitute the word “and” for the comma. • Example: I watched Lady Gaga place the colorful, glittery feather in her hair. Rule #4: • Use commas after an introductory word or phrase. • Example: Yesterday after class, I asked Lesley if she would be my girlfriend.

  8. And even more Commas! Rule #5: • Use commas to set off nouns of direct address. • Example: Jordon, would you please unplug the fan? Rule #6: • Use commas to set off nonessential appositives. Appositives are nonessential if the meaning of the sentence is clear without them. • Example: Our club,Best Buddies,is going to see a movie next week.

  9. And finally. The last comma rule: Rule #7: • Use commas after the day number when writing the date. Also use commas to separate cities and states. • Examples: King’s Island is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. • We are going to King’s Island on September 3, 2012.

  10. SSR • Have your book out • No sleeping • No music/headphones • No cell phones • No talking

  11. ACE Method • A= Answer the question (topic sentence) • Tell me what your answer is. • This is usually 1-2 sentences long. • C= Cite your source (supporting detail) • Tell me where you got that answer. Good ways to start this section: “In the article, it says…” “The author states that…” “On pg. ___, it says…” • This is usually 1-2 sentences. • E= Explain your answer (supporting detail) • Tell me more! This can relate to your personal life, or just simply tie the C and A part together.

  12. ACE: President’s Day Edition • Read the article on raising the minimum wage • Watch the video to see what President Obama thinks • Watch this video to see what the people think • Use ACE to answer the question!  • Don’t worry-we will do an example together first!

  13. Passage to read/watch: • Minimum Wage article and videoread: Questionto Answer: Why does President Obama think raising the minimum wage is a good idea?

  14. An intro to cover letters and interview etiquette • Look at the example • List some things you might want to say about why you want to work at that place • What are some things you could offer this company?
