Mr. Burns English 10 Class November 4th-8th
Monday, November 4th, 2019 Question of the Week: Do you want to be a product of your time or do you want to be a reformer of your time? Why? Please write the date in your composition book. Please write in complete sentences.
Prepositions, Infinitives, Appositives, and Participials What is a preposition? A preposition is a word usually preceding a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. What is an infinitive? An infinitive is the verb in its basic form. The infinitive form of a verb is usually preceded by to, but not always. What is an appositive? An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that is next to another noun to rename it or to describe it in another way. What is a participial? A participial is a word formed from a verb which can be used as an adjective.
What is active voice? What is Passive Voice? What is active voice? In the active voice, the subject always does the action of the sentence. Chronologically, the subject will come before the verb in the sentence. Mr. Burns reads to his class. What is passive voice? The passive writing voice occurs when something that is ordinarily done by the subject of a sentence is done by the object of a sentence. The reading was completed by Mr. Burns.
Use active voice The active voice is usually more direct and vigorous than the passive voice. I shall always remember my first visit to Boston. This is much better than My first visit to Boston will always be remembered by me. The latter sentence is less direct, less bold, and less concise. If the writer tries to make it more concise by omitting by me, My first visit to Boston will always be remembered, it becomes indefinite/vague/confusing: is it the writer, or some person undisclosed, or the world at large, that will always remember this visit?
Do not use passive voice--only when necessary It s better to use active voice, but the writer should not entirely discard the passive voice, which is frequently convenient and sometimes necessary. The dramatists of the Restoration are little esteemed to-day. Modern readers have little esteem for the dramatists of the Restoration. The first would be the right form in a paragraph on the dramatists of the Restoration; the second, in a paragraph on the tastes of modern readers. The need of making a particular word the subject of the sentence will often, as in these examples, determine which voice is to be used.

Annotated Bibliography Student Example An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that gives a summary of each of the entries.The purpose of annotations is to provide the reader with a summary and an evaluation of the source. Each summary should be a concise exposition of the source's central idea(s) and give the reader a general idea of the source's content. Types of annotated bibliographies: Informative, Evaluative, and Combination.
Advice for Writers Assume Judas and the worst teacher you ve had are two OF YOUR READERS. In doing so, you will simply have to temper the generic back-patting with some degree of common sense, exhortation (urging someone to do something), and qualification.

Product or Reformer Hello, my name is Mr. Burns and I am a millennial. The stereotypes associated with being a millennial are true. For instance, in the book Generation Me by Jean Twenge she describes millennials as introverts, narcissistic and entitled. I am a product of my generation because I all of those characteristics. I m not civic minded person because I am narcissistic. Since I am narcissistic, I like to be alone. As a result, I believe I am entitled to my private time or my Me time . All of these characteristics were due to my Baby Boomer parents. There I go again being narcissistic and blaming a group for my problems! Millennials believed we should have earned 6-figures after graduation without deserving it. Millennials believed that we didn t need to work for anything and it would all be given to us. Well guess what? It never happened! Most of us, but not all are in debt barely getting by as Baby Boomers count their gold. Secretly I have become a reformer because while people in my generations were working and staying single--I married and my wife and I bore a child. We didn t decide to be a childless couple and travel the world because that s what narcissistic individuals do. I reformed because I appreciate classicism and become fond of truth, beauty, and goodness. Finally, I rather look to the past than succumb to the downfalls of modernism. Thanks Boomers!
