connects two independent clauses.

Derek considered it his job to protect the pie; however, Gwen’s
constant consumption wasn’t helping.

2. Use a semicolon to separate groups of words or items in a
series that already contain commas.

Oh dear, Gwen can’t decide between the purple, plum, or periwinkle
sweaters; the yellow, pink, or teal pullovers; or the blue angora.

15-18 RL.1, RL.2, RL.3, RL.4

Day 2

Part I

Repeat day 1 activity for chapters 9-10 SH5/Animal or 15-18

Huck. Again, no books. Land on two themes. Are they the same

from our previous class? If so, continue on. If not, figure out

your two new themes and differentiate which is more central.

Part II

Now identify places where those themes you have finally agreed

to interact with one another.

a. explain how events helped them interact or where they

were parallel in nature/presentation. 

b. explain the effect of having those two themes interact.

 

c. characterize the interaction (confusing, powerful,

supportive, etc.--think tone, mood here).

Part III- PLAN B ON EPIC DIALECTIC JOURNAL FAIL

RL.1/RL.3- Solo, by yourself, alone, use your book to identify
important AND EXPLAIN events at the end of your novel
SH5/Animal (9-10); Huck 15-18 that others should review
for their final quiz. Wherever you have space, write
down why it is interesting/ significant.
