1 Warm-Up: Think-Pair- Share  Which type of sentence requires a coordinating conjunction? Which type of sentence requires a subordinating conjunction? Which type requires no conjunction? Word Bank: Simple Complex Compound

2 Types of Sentences A review of simple, compound, and complex

3 Let’s construct some simple sentences. Draw a line to connect the subject with a predicate.  Mrs. Frederick  Ms. Haeusser  Mrs. Christein  Mr. Daley  Mrs. Lang  7 th Graders  Pets the cat  Had a daughter  Bought a beautiful black dress for the dance  Felt ill  Hopes for a special Valentine’s Day Card The youngest students This is not a predicate because it does not contain an action for the subject

4 Compound Sentences: Fanboys What is the definition of a compound sentence? A sentence made up of at least two independent clauses joined together by a coordinating conjunction (fanboy) and a comma or by just a semicolon What are the fanboys? For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

5 Write and Share  Write a compound sentence about your weekend.  I was supposed to have a track meet, but it snowed.  My weekend was boring, and miserable.  I went to D.C., I saw all the monuments and many museums.

6 NOTICE:  "I could have screamed, but I didn't. I could have fought, but I didn't."  Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver (1).  “Early wild flowers were dotting the deep green of the fields, and the sky was clean and blue.”  Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia (118).  “In matters of style, [you] swim with the current; in matters of principle, [you] stand like a rock.”  Thomas Jefferson Create a key to label what each different font color represents Red = Independent Clause Purple = Independent Clause #2 Gold = Coordinator (conjunction and comma, or semi-colon) Green = Prepositional Phrase All of these sentences are compound!

7 One last time  Compound Sentences are Hip! Compound Sentences are Hip!

8 Complex Sentences  A sentence that has an independent clause with one or more dependent clauses  An independent clause has a subject and verb and CAN stand alone as a sentence  A dependent clause has a subject and verb and CANNOT stand alone as a sentence

9 Types of Clauses: Independent, Dependent, and Santa  AAAWWUBIS is an acronym to help us remember ______________________, which make ______________________  FANBOYS is an acronym to help us remember______________________, which join ______________________  Cap on head, suit that’s red, special night, beard that’s white helps us remember... wait, that’s not relevant Subordinating Conjunctions Dependent clauses Coordinating Conjunctions Independent clauses

12 Write and Share  Write a complex sentence about summer.  I eat watermelon in the summer because it is yummy.  Before I fly to San Francisco, I will need to pack my luggage.

13 “One of these things is not like the other” DIRECTIONS: Identify which item does not belong; be able to explain why the item is out of place.

14 The school dances always prove to be a good time, but students often complain that they pass too quickly. The end of the marking period is a busy time for students and for teachers alike. Mr. Daley and Mrs. Caldwell both attended Central Bucks, but they never knew one another. Mrs. Hickman does not kick- box anymore, but she was once a great fighter. This one does not belong because it is not a compound sentence. It is a simple sentence with a compound object. It only has one independent clause.

15 The PSSA tests are going to be challenging this year. We have already had a number of snow falls, yet we have not had any snow days! You should listen to your parents; they really do love you. School is not meant to be easy, nor should you always expect to earn perfect scores. This one does not belong because it is a simple sentence. The rest are compound.

16 Practice:  DIRECTIONS: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single compound sentences. Use a comma and a conjunction OR a semicolon to join the sentences. You can rearrange or add words in the sentence to make it sound better, but only if necessary.

17 PRACTICE:  Little Ann won the beauty contest. Billy got the silver cup.  The Grammy Awards were last night. I enjoyed watching the performances.  Last year we had many snow days. This year we have only had one.  Many people wanted the Seahawks to win the Superbowl. The Patriots won.  I don’t want to get sick. I wash my hands very well.
