G RAMMAR # 5 F RAGMENTS, P ART T WO A sentence fragment tries its best to be a sentence, but it just cant make it. Its missing something. Spending hours every day after school and even on weekends. This time were missing a whole verb. Spending is a participle wanting to modify something, but there is no subject-verb relationship within the sentence.

Describe TWO events that will happen in the story based on The Prologue. Choose ONE type of character we learned about last week (foil, flat, round, dynamic, flat, etc.). Be sure to describe the type of character and provide an example from a movie, TV show, or book.

G RAMMAR #4: What is a complete sentence? A complete sentence is not merely a group of words with a capital letter at the beginning and a period or question mark at the end. A complete sentence has three components: a subject (the actor in the sentence) a predicate (the verb or action), and a complete thought (it can stand alone and make senseit's independent). A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Some fragments are incomplete because they lack either a subject or a verb, or both. They're called "dependent" because they can't stand on their own (just like some people you might know who are SO dependent!). Look at these dependent clauses. Because his car was in the shop (What did he do?) After the rain stops (What then?)

G RAMMAR #4 How do I fix a sentence fragment? First, you need to know that subordinating conjunctions do three things: join two sentences together make one of the sentences dependent on the other for a complete thought (make one a dependent clause) by adding a conjunction indicate a logical relationship ( Because his car was in the shop, he took the bus.)

By the time Frances found out how expensive the wallpapering job would be. 7. After getting estimates from five contractors, she decided to do the work herself. 8.

To avoid hitting the other car, Michael had to back across the corner of the lawn.

E XIT SLIP : P LOT D EVELOPMENT ANALYSIS ACTIVITY Organizer

P LOT D EVELOPMENT One of our objectives for this unit is for you to … Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations ) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme (CC.9-10.R.L.3). After we paraphrased the prologue, we used it to summarize the plot of the play. The plot of Romeo and Juliet can be summarized as: two teenagers from feuding families fall in love but can not really be together. The fighting causes tragedy and death in the families.

T HE PLOT ADVANCEMENT ORGANIZER Shakespeares character are very complex and often have motives that conflict. The complexity of these characters drive the plot. This organizer will help you understand how his characters drive the plot by helping you analyze the two central characters of the play. You will be completing parts of the organizer with your neighbor but everyone must complete an organizer.

C HARACTER M OTIVATION APPLICATION : Application: Reflect on the prologue plot summary again: two teenagers from feuding families fall in love but can not really be together. The fighting causes tragedy and death in the families. How did these character interactions advance the plot/keep the story moving? Character:Who/what motivates him/her? What does it motivate him/her to do? Romeo (consider why he goes to the party) Juliet (consider her thoughts on marriage)
