Currently the syllabus reads for Wednesday:
W 9/16 Outline of first essay due in class with draft of opening paragraph.
I’m postponing that outline and draft one class period until Friday.
See also the homework assignment below. It’s due Wednesday.
Folks,
I meant to ask you to do the assignment below today in class, but did not get to it. I will ask you to do this on Monday (for Wednesday), but you can get a jump on it over the weekend if you want to do so.
In addition to continuing to read Daniels & Daniels and completing the appropriate handouts, please do the following for next Monday (September 14).
Homework
• Simple sentence = independent clause
• compound sentence = two or more independent clauses
• complex sentence = independent clause and dependent clause
• compound-complex sentence = at least two independent clauses and
at least one dependent clause
Please compose and bring to class the two sentences (so ten in all) that fit each
of the following requirements.
1) A compound sentence that uses PA in one clause and a PN in the other
clause
2) A complex sentence that makes use of DO and OC in both clauses
3) A compound-complex sentence that uses IO and DO in one clause and
DO and OC in another clause
4) A sentence that makes use of at least 5 prepositional phrases
5) A sentence that has at least one adjectival prepositional phrase and one

See the following screen cast for a description of the grammar in the sentence “Find out whom else!”
