ENGLISH - 1^st trimester – Day 26

 

Collect classwork:  

• 8 examples (2 of each) of mood, irony, foreshadowing, imagery from “Cask of Amontillado”

 

Sentence structure unit – DWL: Lesson 5, 6

 

Begin classwork, TO BE COLLECTED TOMORROW:
DIRECTIONS: Write a 3-word sentence (doer-doing-done to) like “Bayle collects shells” or “Jon hit the ball.”

Next, expand it into a sentence of 15 words without losing the doer-doing-done to structure; Then again into a sentence of 35 words without losing the doer-doing-done to structure.

As an example, here is a 15-word expansion for “Jon hit the ball.”

            In the middle of the sixth inning, Jon, the league leader, hit the curve ball.

                        NOTE: Writer answered WHEN (sixth inning)? WHO (the league leader)? WHAT KIND (curve)?

Here’s a 35-word expansion example:

            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 curve ball pitched with great velocity.

                        NOTE: Writer answered WHEN (more specifically…of a crucial game etc.)? WHO (more specifically…batting third)? HOW? (weakly but precisely) WHERE? (on the nose) WHAT KIND? (the ball that was pitched with great velocity)?
