Linguistic Accuracy C: Wednesday, November 9

Announcements

Classwork

As a review of adjective clauses, completed Ex. 1, p. 138 in the white handout.
Listened to "Every Time You Go Away" by Paul Young (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWi8M8x5Ig8&feature=related). Identified adverb clauses, which

begin with words like when, if, every time, whenever, because.
answer the questions why, how, when, or where.
are followed by a comma when they start a sentence. (Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you.)
are sometimes preceded by a comma when they end a sentence. (You go again when the leading man appears.)

In the lab, rewrote Task 15 [If you could genetically engineer your children (meaning that you could select the genetic traits you would like them to possess), would you do it? Why or why not?]

Homework

Complete Ex. 1 (restrictive/nonrestrictive clauses) in the white handout from today.
Study for your quiz by reviewing the first section (relative or adjective clauses) of Unit 6, pp. 126-131 in the new version of Writing Clearly. The quiz will be similar to Exercises 1, 2, and 3 on pp. 145-147. I will also ask you to write a few sentences, just as you do in the blue handout.
I didn't return your drafts for Task 16, so you don't have to revise them tonight. Yay! I will give you time to work on it in class tomorrow.
