4. I have decided not to go out with Tony anymore. First of all, he was late for our first date. He said that he would be at my house by 8:30, but he did not arrive until 9:20. Second, he was bossy. He told me that it would be too late to go to the new Steve Martin movie I wanted to see, and that we would go to a horror classic, The Night of the Living Dead, instead. I told him that I didn’t like gruesome movies, but he said that I could shut my eyes during the gory parts. Only because it was a first date did I let him have his way. Finally, he was abrupt. After the movie, rather than suggesting a hamburger or a drink, he drove right out to a back road near Oakcrest High School and started necking with me. What he did a half hour later angered me most of all. He cut his finger on a pin I was wearing and immediately said we had to go right home. He was afraid the scratch would get infected if he didn’t put Bactine and a Bandaid on it. When he dropped me off, I said “Good-bye Tony,” in a friendly enough way, but in my head I thought, “Goodbye forever, Tony.”

15. Transitions Important tools for organizing and connecting your evidence are transitions. Transitions are words that help the reader follow the writer’s thoughts, and show the relationship between ideas Ex: First, second, moreover, most importantly

16. Transitions Turn to p. 76 to see more examples of transitions. These transitions are grouped according to what kind of signal they provide. Note that some words appear in more than one category – which ones?

17. Transitions Now turn to p. 88. Do Activity 1. (If you finish Activity 1 while others are still working, start Activity 2)

18. Activity, p. 88 For one thing, however, a second also last of all, on the other hand

19. Other Connecting Words Three other types of words that help the reader follow the writer’s points are repeated words (Example, bottom of p. 78) repeating key words to remind the reader of important ideas 2. pronouns (Example, bottom of p. 79) using pronouns can help you connect ideas while avoiding needless repetition 3. synonyms (Example, bottom of p. 79) help emphasize ideas without repeating words, and adds variety and interest

20. Other Connecting Words Activity , p. 80 (If you finish and others are still working, continue with Activity, p. 90)

21. Writing Clear, Error Free Sentences Turn to p. 81 This page lists the sentence skills necessary for writing clear, effective sentences. We will study many of these topics in class. You can use this list as a checklist during the editing stage of the writing process.

22. The Four Bases of Writing

23. BREAK

24. Run-Ons Q: What is a run-on? A: Two complete thoughts “run together” without a sign that there is a break between them.

25. Types of Run-Ons There are two types of run-ons: 1. Fused sentences Ex: My grades are very good this semester my social life rates only a C. 2. Comma splices Ex: My grades are very good this semester, my social life rates only a C.

26. Correcting Run-Ons There are four methods of correcting a run-on: 1. Use a period and a capital letter to break the two complete thoughts into separate sentences. Ex: My grades are very good this semester. My social life rates only a C.

27. Correcting Run-Ons 2. Use a commaplus a joining word to connect the two complete thoughts. Ex: My grades are very good this semester, but my social life rates only a C.

28. Correcting Run-Ons 3. Use a semi-colon to connect the two complete thoughts. Ex: My grades are very good this semester; my social life rates only a C.

29. Correcting Run-Ons 4. Use subordination (make one clause dependent by adding a dependent word at the beginning or in between the complete thoughts). Ex: Although My grades are very good this semester, my social life rates only a C. Ex: My grades are very good this semester although my social life rates only a C.

30. Practice Correcting Run-Ons Complete the following activities now: Method 1: Practice 2, p. 40, #2, 4, 6, and 8.
