Good morning! We are going to start transitioning to some writing skills, but first we are starting with sentence types and structure, the key to a writing good RACES paragraphs and essays! Some of this is review from this year but now is a great time to revisit it!
Learning Target: (L1b)I can choose among simple, compound, and complex sentences to signal differing relationships among ideas by watching a video and taking notes.
Work Session: First watch the linked Youtube video on Sentence Structure
Then watch it again and answer the following questions (also in Spanish if you need them): What are the three types of sentence structures? (¿Cuáles son los tres tipos de estructuras de oraciones?)
Why is it important to know and use the different sentence structures? (¿Por qué es importante conocer y usar las diferentes estructuras de oraciones?)
What is another name for a simple sentence? (¿Cuál es otro nombre para una frase simple?)
What two things do an independent clause include? (¿Qué dos cosas incluye una cláusula independiente?)
What is a compound sentence made of? (¿De qué está hecha una frase compuesta?)
What are the coordinating conjunctions? (¿Cuáles son las conjunciones de coordinación?)
****One thing the video does not say is that there should be a comma before the fanboys
(**** Una cosa que el video no dice es que debe haber una coma antes de los fanboys)
What is a complex sentence made of? (¿De qué se hace una frase compleja?)
When do you use a comma in a complex sentence? (¿Cuándo se usa una coma en una oración compleja?)
Write one example of a simple, compound, and complex sentence. (Escriba un ejemplo de una oración simple, compuesta y compleja.)
Let me know if you need anything! I'll have a video up today as well!
