  1. English: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Handouts: * Grammar #53 (Diagramming the Four Kinds of Sentences) Homework: * Grammar #53 (Diagramming the Four Kinds of Sentences) [If you don’t finish in class, it is homework.] Assignments due: * Grammar #52 (Diagramming Simple Subjects and Simple Predicates)

  2. Lesson Goal: Learn how to diagram the four kinds of sentences. Outcomes: Be able to . . . Name and define the four kinds of sentences. Identify the simple subject and simple predicate in all four kinds of sentences. Diagram the simple subject and simple predicate in all four kinds of sentences.

  3. Starter #1: Yesterday we learned the first two steps in diagramming sentences. 1) Draw a long horizontal line. 2) Draw one short vertical line that crosses the horizontal line. The simple subject will appear first, on the upper left-hand side. The simple predicate will appear after it, on the upper right hand side. First rule to remember: Use a capital letter whenever you see one in a sentence, but do NOT use any punctuation. Yesterday we diagrammed this simple sentence: Dynamite explodes.

  4. Starter #3: Then we diagrammed this sentence and learned another rule. . . . Rule #2: If a helping verb is used, include it when you diagram the simple predicate. Then we diagrammed this sentence: The dynamite will explode on schedule.

  5. Starter #3: Before we learn the next steps in diagramming, we need to review something. . . . What are the four kinds of sentences we learned at the first of the year? Declarative Makes a statement (declares something) Interrogative Asks a question (think of someone interrogating a criminal) Imperative Gives a command (think of an impish child—or dog—who ignores being told what to do) Exclamatory Expresses great emotion (dramatic, full of feeling)

  6. Starter #4: Let’s diagram each of those four types of sentences. Take out a sheet of paper. DeclarativeThe house has central heat. Diagram this sentence. InterrogativeDoes it have air conditioning? Diagram this sentence. [Hint: What trick do we use with sentences that are questions?] Reword them as declarative statements.

  7. Starter #5: Let’s continue diagramming. . . . ImperativeTurn down the thermostat at ten o’clock. Diagram this. [Hint: What is unusual about the subject in these command sentences?] When a name is not included, the command is an understood “you.” ExclamatoryHow warm it is in this room! Diagram this sentence. [Hint: The subject does not have to be the first word. Find the subject noun or pronoun.] Let’s see how we do with today’s assignment. . . .
