All items found will be confiscated by staff and may need to be picked up by your parents. • 3). Homework assignments are due on their due date. Late assignments will be worth 75% of the grade if they are turned in by the following Monday.

  21. Dash Dash — In informal writing, dashes may replace commas, semicolons, colons, and parentheses to indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought. Examples:You are the friend—the only friend—who offered to help me. I pay the bills—she has all the fun.A semicolon would be used here in formal writing. I need three items at the store—dog food, vegetarian chili, and cheddar cheese.**Remember, a colon would be used here in formal writing.

  22. Parentheses Parentheses ( ) Rule 1: Use parentheses to enclose words or figures that clarify or are used as an aside. Example: I expect five hundred dollars ($500). Rule 2: Use full parentheses to enclose numbers or letters used for listed items. Example:We need an emergency room physician who can (1) think quickly, (2) treat patients respectfully, and (3) handle complaints from the public.

  23. Ellipses Ellipses … Rule 1. Use ellipses when material has been omitted from a direct (word-for-word) quotation, whether the omission is a word, phrase, or several sentences. Example: The absurdity of the situation makes me ponder Hamlet's query "whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer . . . outrageous fortune."

  24. Ellipses Rule 2: Use ellipses to indicate a pause, hesitation, or unfinished thought. The veterinarian spoke softly, "The poor horse is . . . was . . .” Review answers to Other Punctuation worksheet.

  25. Thursday: Review • Play game to review(Ms. Schilz).  • Each table gets a big sheet of paper. • Chose one student to be “it.” • When “it” says “go,” all students choose a corner to go to and write down one thing he/she learned/remember about your study guide questions, the story, punctuation, or vocab. CAN’T HAVE 2 OF THE SAME STATEMENTS! • “It” student will pick a corner he/she overheard, and that corner has to tell the class what they wrote, and then sit down. • BE QUIET! The corner picked last, wins!

  26. Daily Writing: Compliments 1/25/13 Choose one prompt to respond to and explain with detail: • What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about you? How did it make you feel? How did you react? • What is the worst thing anyone has ever said about you? How did it make you feel? How did you react?
