Monday: Punctuation Review• Let’s throw away brackets and focus on everything else… Brackets aren’t used very often anyway.

• Review test sentences.• Review notes….

•Quotes “That’s what I said!”•Used to show what someone else said or wrote.

•Used to name shorter works of literature (poetry, news article, etc.) Italics or underline for longer works (The Diary of Anne Frank or The Diary of Anne Frank)

•Period or comma punctuation always comes before the final quotation mark.

Review

•Colon :Rule 1• Use the colon after a complete sentence to introduce

a list of items when introductory words such as namely, for example, or that is do not appear.

• Example: I need to go grocery shopping and buy the essentials: milk, bread, and butter.

Rule 4• Use a colon instead of a semicolon between two

sentences when the second sentence explains or illustrates the first sentence.

• Example: Life is like a puzzle: half the fun is in trying to work it out.

Review

•NOTE the difference between hyphen and a dash.

•En Dash -•An en dash, the width of an n, is a little longer than a hyphen. Used for periods of time when you might otherwise use to.

• Examples:The years 2001–2003January–June

• An en dash is also used in place of a hyphen when combining open compounds.

• Examples:North Carolina–Virginia bordera high school–college conference

Review

•Em Dash —•In informal writing, em dashes may replace commas, semicolons, colons, and parentheses to indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought.

• Examples:You are the friend—the only friend—who offered to help me.

• I pay the bills—she has all the fun.A semicolon would be used here in formal writing.

• I need three items at the store—dog food, vegetarian chili, and cheddar cheese.

Parentheses ( )Rule 1: Use parentheses to enclose words or figures that clarify or are used as an aside.•Example: I expect five hundred dollars ($500).•Example: Please make sure to work on your

study guide questions (the half-sheet I handed out on Monday).

Rule 2: Use full parentheses to enclose numbers or letters used for listed items.•Example: We need an emergency room

physician who can (1) think quickly, (2) treat patients respectfully, and (3) handle complaints from the public.

•Ellipses …•Rule 1. Use ellipses when material has been omitted from a direct (word-for-word) quotation, whether the omission is a word, phrase, or several sentences.

•Example: The absurdity of the situation makes me ponder Hamlet's query "whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer . . . outrageous fortune."

Ellipses •Rule 2: Use ellipses to indicate a pause, hesitation, or unfinished thought.

•The veterinarian spoke softly, "The poor horse is . . . was . . ."

Inferences

Making Inferences:•To inference is to take a critical look at what you are reading or seeing and make an assumption based on your own experiences.

While we are reading,we are picturing the story and asking ourselves questions about the story.

We find clues in the text and can make judgments, to answer these questions, based on what we know from our experiences.

Take a look at this cartoon:

First

let’s

consid

er

Lucy

.

What do w

e see

?

By reading the picture, we can see how the author drew her.

What do we know?

We know that when people look like that, they are usually angry.

We can infer that Lucy is

Angry.

What do we read?

We read that Lucy sighs and then says

“Youth never

listens.”

We know that Lucy is a

“youth”. We also know that when

someone says that someone else “never listens,” It’s

an insult.

Because Lucy wouldn’t want to insult herself, we can infer that Lucy thinks she is more

Mature than Linus and Snoopy.

What can you infer from this picture?

What can we infer from this passage?

She stumbled down the road, not sure what made her car veer like that. The water was running down her face and dripping off her hair. She suddenly saw the lights of another car. She was sure they would be able to help her.

Good readers visualize, question, and make judgments about what they read. Don’t fly blind, be a good reader!

Tuesday: Inferences

1. Continue to read Diary of Anne Frank2. Journal title: Inferences in Diary of AF• As you read, choose at least 3 passages.• For each, explain what inferences you’ve had

▫ For every student who turns in late work assignments by tomorrow instead of NEXT Friday, I’ll add a fuzzy.

Thursday: Author’s Purpose Review & Part 3

Today’s agenda:1. Review study guide questions.2. Review author’s purpose (we’ll go

through this quickly – it should already be in your notes from week 14).

3. Think. Pair. Share.4. If time, review vocab.


•The author’s purpose is his or her reason for writing.

•Their purpose may be to: ▫Inform▫Persuade▫Entertain


To Entertain•Goal may be to tell a story or to describe characters, places, or events (real or imaginary).

•Ex: plays, poems, stories, jokes, or even comic strips.


To Persuade:•Goal is to get the reader to agree with the writer's opinion. This type of writing is opinionated, but the author may provide facts and examples to support the opinion.

•Ex: commercials, advertisements, and editorials.


To Inform:•Goal to enlighten the reader with subjects that are typically real and factual. Few opinions are expressed.

•Teach, not to persuade. Ex: cookbooks, textbooks, newspapers, magazines and online news sources, and historical accounts.


How do we determine the author’s purpose?We have to take our cues from the text

itself.For example,

If the text is telling us about the Battle of the Bulge, the author’s purpose is to inform us about this specific battle.


If the text is trying to convince us that smoking is bad for us and those around us, the author’s

purpose is to persuade us not to smoke.


If the text is a short story, poem, or play, a comic strip or 2-line joke, no matter how long or short it may be, the author’s purpose is to entertain

us. It doesn't have to be funny, either, to entertain us. Drama, suspense, and mystery can be just as entertaining.


Facts or true Information?

Fiction?

Tries to get youto do something?

to Entertain

to Inform or Teach

to Persuade or Convince


It was a glorious morning in Alabama. The sun was shining through the trees. Alan couldn't wait to find his fishing pole and call his friend Sam to go fishing. They had a great time on these early morning fishing trips. They took their dogs with them and the dogs would swim in the lake while they fished. It was so funny to watch those dogs paddle around the lake.

to Inform to Entertain to Persuade
