Conjunctions

Questions about the Solo #2 paper?  Is Brooks doing a good job helping us understand this guy?

Thinkwrite: What exactly do we mean by "The American Dream"? Does this still exist? As Americans, do we share basic expectations about our economic lives ?

You read in Everyday Writer about fixing comma splices using conjunctions. Let's review conjunctions.

Here are some short sentences:

My dog loves to chase cats.

Our barn is full of cats.

Most of the cats on my place ignore the dog.

No cat has ever been injured by my dog.

Please create two long sentences. In one of them, use coordination to combine two of these sentences. In the other, use subordination to combine two of these sentences.

Let's share.

Now do Ex. 25.1 (p. 289)--your choice whether you write or type it. Make sure it's in the daybook.Copy or type the whole paragraph, please.

Homework:

1. Tomorrow you'll be typing Solo #2 during class. You may use earbuds to help you concentrate ( as long as I can't hear anything).
