First period learned about clauses. Students learned about the two types of clauses, independent and dependent, and then looked at some practice exercises from the writing textbook.

Today, fourth period began with a PASS review, and then began our study of the types of sentences. Today, we covered the first two types of sentences, simple sentences and compound sentences. Tomorrow, we will finish up with types of sentences, learning about the last two types of sentences, complex and compound complex. Towards the beginning of class, students were also informed of the themes database that they are to work on. The database covers the themes we discussed in class yesterday, and will help students with their final project on Great Expectations.
