1. Types of Sentences Review
At the end of this video you will have made a quick little reference foldable on the four different types of sentences. If you are using mostly simple sentences this should become something you use whenever you are writing!

2. Create the foldable pamphlet!
Take two pieces of paper
Notebook paper
Colored paper (even better)
Put one paper an inch below the other one.
Fold them in half so that you will have FOUR tabs about 1 inch a piece
(see example and pause video as needed)

3. Basic Sentence Structure Vocab
Write this on the back of your pamphlet:
Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something in the sentence
Predicate: The part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject
Independent Clause: is a full complete sentence
Dependent Clause: is a fragment, a part of a sentence that is “dependent” on more of a sentence to make it whole.
(Think of a table with four legs, the table is “dependent” on the legs to keep it standing.)

4. First Tab: Simple Sentences
Write this on the top of this section:
A simple sentence is one independent clause
One full thought, smallest sentence
Has a subject and a predicate
Using these occasionally, especially next to longer sentences is ok!
Write the example sentence on the bottom section:
John’s story gave me goose bumps.
subject
predicate

5. Second Tab: Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is 2 or more independent clauses joined by a comma and a conjunction OR joined by a semicolon
Conjunction: and, but, or etc.
Semicolon: “;”
Medium sized sentences
Use the “magic trick” of The Bridge here

6. Second Tab: Compound Sentences
Write this on the bottom of this section, but still same tab:
John has a great imagination, and I always enjoy his writing.
John has a great imagination; I always enjoy his writing.
comma
conjunction
semicolon

7. Third Tab: Complex Sentences
Write this on the top of this section:
One independent clause, and one or more dependent clause.
These are harder to write.
Usually uses a comma or a semicolon.
Medium sized sentence

8. Third Tab: Complex Sentences
Write this on the bottom of this section:
After John writes a story, he lets it “cool” for a few days.
The first part of the sentence is a dependent clause as well. We also call these fragments.
If you looked at just this section of the sentence it wouldn’t make sense! It is a dependent clause!

9. Fourth Tab: Compound-Complex
Write this on the top of this section:
Two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
The longest of the sentences
Without the proper internal punctuation these are RUN-ONS
Most of the other “magic tricks” insert 20’s and upgrade the nouns would work here

10. Fourth Tab: Compound-Complex
Write this on the bottom of this section:
Although I do not write nearly as well as John, my writing is getting better, and extra work will improve it even more.
Insert 20 technique
commas

11. You are now finished!
I will check your pamphlet tomorrow, in your WSQ please go back and do your summary and question (these will be the only thing on your WSQ for today)
