12.17 - Complex Sentences, SAT Style Road Questions

For the first part of class today, we were focused on complex sentences. We looked at how complex sentences differ from compound sentences in the conjunctions that they use and in how they feature dependent clauses. We reviewed some pre-written sentences and then everyone created their own sentences based on activity cards that I provided in class.

Next, we returned to working with some SAT style questions on The Road as a way to talk about how McCarthy uses language in the book as well as a way to figure on some extended reasoning.

Handouts:

Homework:
