5/4: Honors English 10

Students will discover the language Shelley uses to describe Elizabeth by writing a TEXT paragraph.

Agenda:
1) Warm-up: Write a complex sentence and a compound sentence for harrowing and livid.

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it.  Examples of dependent clauses include the following:

• because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon
• while he waited at the train station
• after they left on the bus. 

A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS":

• For
• And
• Nor
• But
• Or
• Yet
• So
