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.
WHATS 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.

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?
