*I will have to mark these essays very quickly. I will not have time to do my normal extensive marking. I will look at the overview writing for essay structure, i.e. paper format, paragraphing. I will look for components of the introductory paragraph, i.e. grabber, topic sentence, preview of 3 points. I will look for components of the body paragraphs. Also, I will evaluate the overall quality of the sentences.

I will assign a mark out of six and triple it, i.e. x/18

Sentence Combining

Two approaches to putting sentences together:

COORDINATION  

SUBORDINATION

 

1.    COORDINATION – prefix ‘co’ together

coworker, cooperate, combine, colearners, colleagues, collaboration “co + labour”, coparent, coordinate, coordinator–

 

co- two things , same level

 

sentence – two clauses at the same level of importance

compound sentence– coordinated clauses

, SOBA   , FANBOYS   ;   ; TRANS,

 

Like a seesaw, teeter-totter

 

 

2.    SUBORDINATION- ‘sub’ under

submarine, subway, substitute, subcontract(or)

 

GOOD LUNCH: Vietnamese submarine sandwiches –

Banh Mi Saigon,

5397 Victoria Drive- have one for homework

37^th Avenue

 

Trick for finding the cross avenue for an address in Vancouver.

 

5397 -16 = 53-16= 37   37^th Ave

South Hill Education Centre 6010 Fraser Street,  60 - 16       44^th Ave

 

4578 Main Street 45-16= 29 29^th Avenue

 

 

1345 Commercial  Drive  13-16   ‘-3’ Three blocks north of First Avenue

 

More Vancouver math:

Each major block is .5 mile (.8km) apart

e.g Main to Fraser 800m

Main to Cambie 800m

Victoria to Fraser 1600m 1.6km

 

Last Vancouver math

Each major East/West Avenue is a square

1 squared = 1 Ave

2 squared= 4^th Ave

3 squared= Broadway (9^thAve)

4 squared= 16^th Ave

5 squared= King Edward Ave (25^th Ave)

6 squared= 36^th Ave

7 squared= 49th Ave

 

 

subconscious, subtract, substitute, submission, submissive, subcontract

one thing more important than the other

sentence – two clauses not at the same level of importance

complex- adverb clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses

e.g. Mae likes dogs because they are loyal. main clause subordinate clause

main clause -more important information

subordinate clause / dependent clause- less important information

-         adjective clause

-         adverb clause

-         noun clause

 

If a teacher is talking about coordinating and subordinating clauses, they mean compound and complex sentences.

e.g writing workshop for sentence writing, UBC for first-year students

 

Dogs are loyal, so I like them. COMPOUND- coordination

I like dogs because they are loyal. COMPLEX-subordination

 

 

This is my visualization of sentences:

 

1.    _____         SIMPLE

2.    ___   ___    COMPOUND

3.    ___

                    ___   COMPLEX

 

Like Tetris blocks

 

* It’s all about main and subordinate clauses

We want a good mix of those types.

 

-looking under the hood of a car

-looking behind the curtain at Cirque de Soleil

-looking in the kitchen of a restaurant

-watch a magician in slow motion

 

How it’s done! How it’s made!

 

Tetris – video game with blocks

-different shapes

-all the pieces fit together

Russian Blocks

 

- nice mix of sentence styles in our writing

-mix of SIMPLE, COMPOUND and COMPLEX sentences

We should aim for a nice mix of simple, compound and complex sentences. We should aim for a mix of short, medium, and long sentences.

 

Let’s get some of your solutions for “French Fries” up on the board. We can look at them together.

 

4-6.Then slowly they slowly are slowly lowered slowly into oil.

slow(adj) slowly(adv)

 

Then they are slowly lowered into the oil.

SIMPLE

 

condensation-

 

“Coffee”

He sips at his coffee cup that is chipped along the rim. COMPLEX- adj cl

The taste is bitter, acidic, and faintly soapy.

The taste which is faintly soapy is bitter and acidic.

The film which is on the inside of the cup is brown.
