December 4, 2017 - December 8, 2017 Weekly Agenda
Your final draft of your research paper is due tonight at 11:59 on schoology and turnitin.com.
Tuesday, December 5th:
Congratulations to all who turned in your research paper!
For those of you having a difficult time submitting your research paper to turnitin.com, I opened a new assignment portal - Final Draft of Research Paper. You can use this assignment portal for your research paper.
Friendly reminder:
All outstanding work is due this Friday, December 8th, without exception. This includes vocabulary and grammar assignments.
For today's assignment, please do the handout on Adjective Clauses. Here's how to do it:
A clause is a group of words that has a noun, a verb, and may or may not express a complete thought.
Only an independent clause can stand alone.
An adjective clause must be attached to an independent clause; it cannot stand alone.
An adjective clause acts like an adjective, but it is a group of words (a clause) that describes or modifies a noun.
The adjective clause follows the noun it is describing and is attached to the noun by a relative pronoun.
The relative pronouns are: that, which, who, whose, whom.
Please do exercise 2, "Identifying the Adjective Clause". Write out the entire paragraph and italicize the adjective clauses.
Please do exercise 3, "Revising Sentences by Supplying Adjective Clauses". Do 1 - 5, combining the two sentences by using a relative pronoun - that, which, who, whose, whom.
The formula is: noun + relative pronoun (that, which, who, whose, whom) + adjective clause
Please upload this assignment to schoology.
Wednesday, December 6th:
Please
make sure you revise your rough draft and turn it in as your final draft. If
you do not make revisions on your rough draft and simply turn it in “as is”,
then you will receive an “F” on this major assignment, which will almost
certainly mean YOU WILL FAIL THIS
CLASS!!!
Also, be aware that you have two vocabulary assignments, Unit 3, #1 - 10, and #11 - 20, and three grammar assignments: two revising run-ons and one on the adjective clause.

Today's assignment:
Grammar Handout: The Adverb Clause
An adverb clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a verb, an adjective, or an adverb.
An adverb clause tells how something is done, where something was done, when something was done, to what extent something was done, or under what conditions something was done.
Common subordinating conjunctions:
After, although, as, as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, because, before, even though, if, in order that, since, so that, than, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether, while
Directions:
Exercise 3:
Italicize the adverb clause, and write the subordinating conjunction in bold face.
Example:
Whenever we climb Mount Katahdin, we are thrilled by the view.
Please do sentences 1 - 10.
Exercise 4:
Building Sentences with Adverb Clauses
Choose two clauses from the list under exercise 4. Combine the clauses with coordinating conjunctions from the list above or on the handout. Use a coordinating conjunction only once. Write the coordinating conjunctions in bold face, and the adverb clauses in italics.
