Grammar
 Write
compound/complex sentences
 Use the following coordinating conjunctions for
compound sentences: FANBOYS,
• And
• But
• For
• Nor
• Yet
• Or
• So
Punctuate compound sentences with coordinating
conjunctions correctly.
Three patterns in writing use coordinating conjunctions.
Add commas when required.
Pattern 1 — Connecting two main clauses
When you connect two main clauses with a coordinating
conjunction, use a comma. The pattern looks like this:
main clause + , + coordinating conjunction + main clause.
Here is an example:
My dog sleeps on the couch, but my cat sleeps on my bed.
Use the following subordinatE
conjunctions for complex
sentences
after
although
as
because
before
even if
even though
if
in order that
once
provided that
rather than
since
so that
than
that
though
unless
until
when
whenever
where
whereas
wherever
whether
while
why
Some sentences are complex. Such sentences have two clauses, one
main [or independent] and one subordinate [or dependent].
The essential ingredient in a complex sentence is the subordinate
conjunction:
1. Louisa will wash the sink full of her dirty
dishes once her roommate Shane cleans
his stubble and globs of shaving cream
from the bathroom sink.
2. We looked on top of the refrigerator,
where Jenny will often hide a bag of
chocolate chip cookies.
3. Because her teeth were chattering in
fear, Lynda clenched her jaw muscle
while waiting for her turn to audition.

Reading for Editorials


- Editorials or opinion/arguments about the day you were born
SEARCH using the words “your date of birth Editorial” ( for example,
“September 1, 2001 editorial”), or use the words “dateissues” or
“dateproblems”. Read an editorial and summarize it in your own words.
Make sure you document at the beginning of your article. Remember
there are articles in gaggle about how to summarize. Put in ADB.
Political cartoon – Search New York Times. At NYT , click on - OPINION - .
Put the year first and then political cartoon. When I just tried searching
for a date and political cartoon at google, I got present day cartoons.
Don’t go to images, they are present ones. Try this New York Times
search engine. For example, search with date first again: “ 1999
political cartoon” got results too. Put in ADB.
I also went to with the date first and he had hundreds of political
cartoons with exact dates. Ted Rall’s blog… but be careful. You might
want to discuss these with your parents and look at these at home. Taro,
remember you are searching things in Japan; others are searching issues
in Germany, but David you were born in the states. However, any
editorial can be about any issue anywhere in the world. You have to
translate if you are reading issues in your native language.
Letter-to-the-editor – You can write this. Read about some of the issues
How to Write an Editorial
Summary
When you read an editorial written by another person,
highlight it and copy and paste it to a WORD
document.
Make sure you have the name of the newspaper, title
of the article, author, date, and url.
Follow the rules for writing a summary and write a
summary of the article. Look at each paragraph and
highlight the who, what, when, where, how, and
why. Then write a sentence summary for each
paragraph.
Remember the first sentence mentions the author, title
and source of the article and a general sentence
summarizing the main thesis of the article. Indicate if
this person is for or against the topic.

Select a topic that was controversial at the time of your
birth. Look up the year of your birth followed by
controversial issues, or “1998 controversial issues”
Take a stand – For or against.
For example, issue - Should American companies be
allowed to build businesses in foreign lands and hire only
locals, not Americans.
Dear Editor:
First sentence: Begin with a question. How will American
companies outsourcing jobs to other countries affect
America’s long term employment rate? Is outsourcing
good for America? Then state your opinion.
(cont).
How to Write a Letter to the Editor
 Once
you state your thesis (your opinion in the first
paragraph), in the next paragraph explain the
present situation at the time.
 In the next paragraph, tell what caused the present
situation. There might be more than one cause.
 In the next paragraph, tell what the argument is for
the problem or the argument against your solution.
 In the next paragraph, give your solution for the
situation.
 In the last paragraph, give a warning. Begin with in
conclusion.
Homework – if not finished in
class
 Place
four items for the editorial page in
the google aps. You have all written your
usernames and passwords in your
planners. If you don’t finish this work at
school, work on it during seminar and at
home.
 Now that you know your google aps
information, you need to put the national,
international, and local news articles in
google aps.
How to Write a Feature Article
(1)



Definition: a feature article is basically descriptive writing. The author describes
an object, person, or event to show its importance and timeliness to the
community.
Students only need to do one of these so they are encouraged to do the one
that is most fun or on which they have the most information. This article does
not have to be more than two paragraphs long. If the student just gets notes
and does not have time to write the articles, then they just have notes. I really
just want them to be researching information and getting ideas. List these
ideas in a document and place that document in the Assignment Drop Box. I
know this is difficult for you. Be strong.
Object: Select a building, painting, vase, skateboard, doll, new art
equipment, saddle, etc. and describe its appearance, who made it, its
function, its location and how it will be displayed or used. This could also be a
new CD that might be released or a video game , system or other electronic
devise that was going to be released. It could even be about a new
discovery or a flower, exercise equipment, new medicine or old that still works,
in other words, just about anything of importance at that particular time.


An event: The event could be a movie, movie premiere, art
exhibit, opera, workshop, concert, speech, PTO meeting,
bizarre, carnival, circus, graduation, riding lesson
(Cheyenne, do something on how to ride a horse or groom
a horse; Taro, how to write in kanji's; ) A feature article just
lets the community know what events are coming up in the
near future so people can plan to come. What singers
might have been giving a concert near the time you were
born. The event might relate to a holiday also or a seasonal
activity like picking apples. Sometimes this is just a
calendar of events. You could just list things that
happened about the time you were born that aren’t
considered news. This is the easiest and best thing to do.
Place it in a text box.
How to Write a Feature Article
(3)


A person: A feature article about a person is basically a biography of that
person. Who was the rock star of that time? Find out information about that
person. If you were born in an election year, do a feature article on the
people running for office. Who won the Academy Awards or other awards
that year? Write an article about that person.
A place: Travel information about your place of birth or your cultural
background is perfect for the feature page. What was happening at Disney
when you were born? Were there other amusement parks? Describe them.
Was a new school , art museum, or church being built. What about a riding
stable? All of you could give a simple lesson on how to count or something in
your own language. David, you could give a Spanish lesson in an article or
consider a travel article and talk about Madrid or the Prado Museum. I think
your telling about places in Spain would be great even if you were born in
California because the feature page includes travel information. Naomi,
Vanessa, Cheyenne and Jamal, you too can tell of places to go in Germany
or in Wiesbaden. You could also talk about German food and/or give a
German lesson, but not over the same information. Communicate to make
sure you each are doing something different. You can just give a recipe of
your favorite food because this project is about you. Just do some research .

summer trip to the Disney World in Orlando, Florida
