1. Individual Reading Time
Have you signed up for your February/March Book of the Month?
If you haven't picked up your January/February Book Assignment, pick it up from the bottom wire basket for your class.
If you haven't handed it in, hand it in to the top wire basket for your class.
2. Analogy
Example --
worrying : fixing whatever you're worried about :: chewing bubble gum : solving an algebra equation
-- based on - Baz Luhrmann from Everybody’s Free (to Wear Sunscreen)
3. Word Parts -- Prefixes, Suffixes, and Word Roots
(page 33).
tele = far
vis or vid = see
"John Baird coined the word TELEVISION by uniting the Greek word tele (“distant” or “far”) with the Latin word vision (“to see”). Had the word been all Greek or all Latin, we might be complaining that there’s nothing to watch on the teleopsis or the proculvision." from Brian P. Cleary
What other words can you think of that include the word parts "tele-" or "vid" or "vis"?

A comma splice is where two independent clauses have been spliced together with just a comma. It will not hold!
Comma Splice
How could we fix this collection of comma splices? (Write a compound-complex sentence.)
The Church was burning, They realized they could Save the Kids, They went to Get Them.
How about this one?
There was a fire in the church, Ponyboy and Johnny saved the kids in the church, they were brought to the hospital.
__________________________________
Some great examples from last time:
After Ponyboy got out of the church, he heard a scream, and the church fell right on Johnny.
Because Ponyboy was smoking, the church caught on fire, and some children got caught in the fire.
After all the kids got out, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally were in the newspaper, and they became heroes.
Extra credit opportunity: I'm looking for an effective analogy for this --
comma splice : complete sentence :: ___________ : ___________
If you can think of one, write it down, and hand it in for my consideration.
Brady K. (invisible answer) comma splice : complete sentence :: fair : foul
Elexus F. comma splice : a complete sentence:: chalk: a whiteboard

| Heads-Up: You will be asked to create a compound-complex sentence at the end of class about what we read from The Outsiders. |
page 105 -- Should the book end here? After all, Ponyboy is home safely and has made peace with his brother Darry.
