Go over Test #29.
Combine each group of short, choppy sentences into one smooth-sounding sentence. You may add, subtract, or change words, but make sure to keep the meaning of all the parts. You will have to punctuate as appropriate.
Example: a) Chuckie bounces wildly in his desk. b) He is the class clown. c) He clucks like a chicken.
“Sentence Combining 4/25” Write all four sentences as a paragraph.
| 1a. A young woman sits alone. 1b. She sips from her coffee cup. 1c. It is shaped like a ducky. 1d. It is chipped along the rim. |
2a. The coffee’s taste is bitter. 2b. It is acidic. 2c. It is faintly soapy. |
3a. She takes extra care. 3b. She tries not to spill the coffee. 3c. The coffee is in the saucer. |
4a. She is afraid of something. 4b. It might eat holes in her clothes. |
Bonus: Why is this ironic?
In your notebook, set aside 3 or 4 pages for a chart that looks like this:
| Book. | Movie. | Why the change? | Better/Worse and Why. |
Please keep it out the whole time and add to it as we watch. You will use this later on.
