Take fill-in-the blank Prefix test #2
After completing your test, write down these 7 labels into your NOTES:
o 1.when 2.who 3.which one 4.what kind 5.where
6.how 7.why
§ Then write a NEW EXAMPLE of a 3-word
sentence and label it “x, y, z”
§ Then expand it to a 15-word sentence
(and LABEL the chunks using the 7 labels in your notes).
o Review rules of the game:
§ Must have a “z” that answers the question: “y” what = “z”
·
“z”
is usually a person, place, thing, or idea
§ You may NOT add additional “x, y, z”
o Expand a three-word sentence into a
100-word sentence without losing the x,y,z (doer-doing-done to) structure.
o Here’s a 100-word expansion:
§ In
the middle of the sixth inning of a crucial game in last year’s pennant race, Jon,
the league leader batting third, weakly but precisely hit on the nose the
ball pitched with great velocity by the sure-to-be Hall of Fame hurler who
had won his last five starts in an overwhelming fashion while going the whole
nine innings and who therefore presented an intimidating image to anyone facing
him, especially as the shadows lengthened over the mound, obscuring the
mechanics of his delivery and rendering it difficult even to see the spheroid
as it curved its sinuous way toward the plate.
