DAILY EDIT: WHICH SENTENCES ARE COMPOUND
AND WHICH ARE COMPLEX?
1. After he stole the loaf of bread, Aladdin ran
down the city street.
2. Elsa felt her role as queen forced her to stifle
who she really was, so she built an ice castle
on a mountain to escape from the pressure.
3. Rapunzel deserved a chance to see the world
after being trapped in her tower for so long.
COMPLEX SENTENCE
• A complex sentence is made up of an
independent clause and one or more dependent
clauses connected to it.
–After he stole the loaf of bread, Aladdin ran
down the city street.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
COMPOUND SENTENCE AND A COMPLEX
SENTENCE?
• Compound: Elsa felt her role as queen forced her to
stifle who she really was, so she built an ice castle on
a mountain to escape from the pressure.
• Complex: When Elsa felt her role as queen forced
her to stifle who she really was, she built an ice
castle on a mountain to escape from the pressure.
DEPENDENT CLAUSES
After he stole the loaf of bread
• Remember, a clause must include a subject and a verb
• But it begins with a subordinate conjunction (after,
although, as, because, before, even though, if, since, though,
unless, until, when, whenever, whereas, wherever, while)
which means it cannot stand on its own
COMBINE THE SENTENCES TO MAKE
THEM COMPLEX:
• Liesel was far too full after eating too many apples.
Liesel ate the pea soup anyway.
• Max felt horribly guilty for putting the Hubermans in
danger. It was his only option.
• The Huberman’s daughter, Trudy, came home for
Christmas. The Hubermans did not tell Trudy about
Max.

•the an idea or feeling that a word invokes
in addition to its literal or primary meaning
–A connotation may be positive or negative
depending on the idea or feeling it invokes

TAKE OUT YOUR HOMEWORK
1. As I come around to check your homework, look at the
quotes you identified and choose three words total from
your sheet
2. Write these three on the back of your worksheet
3. Find the dictionary definition of each word using the
dictionary at your table and write it next to the word
4. Then write down the idea or feeling that word invokes
(its connotation), including if that word is more positive
or negative in its connotation.
OVERGENERALIZATION: BASED IN
CONNOTATIONS
• Lets look at two different words we use to associate
people with children:
–Childish
–Childlike
• Which carries a positive connotation? Which carries
a negative one?
CHILD-LIKE: POSITIVE
Turn and Talk: How does this term
overgeneralize the demographic group
“children”—what does it assume you
associate with being like a child?
CHILDISH: NEGATIVE
•Turn and Talk: How does this term
overgeneralize the demographic group
“children”—what does it assume you
associate with being like a child?
DISCUSS
•How are connotations and denotations
relevant to The Book Thief, propaganda,
and the Nazi Party?
DISCUSS:
•Do you think connotations can be
inorganically formed around words with
the intent of changing the way people view
others and themselves?
DISCUSS:
•Why would Zusak choose to have his
characters use this kind of language
right when Max is introduced?
RELATE THIS TO YOUR OWN LIFE
Can you think of a time you were
overgeneralized based on the
connotations that surround your
demographic identity? (Gender, Sexual
orientation, race, religion, age, etc.)
