Today our different classes worked on different activities, as some were guinea pigs and others were not.
1st period worked on essay revisions in the lab. Tomorrow, we meet in the media center to continue our work.
2nd period listened to audio comments and worked on essay revisions in the lab. Bring those headphones back tomorrow.
4th, 5th, and 6th period worked on sentence practice to ensure their essays will be in tip-top shape. The sentence practice can be found on the previous post.
We all reviewed the Fanboys Coordinating Conjunctions Song (W26).
This song is written by and owned by Inner Circle and is adapted here for educational purposes:
Sing along with your lyrics here!
FANBOYS! Whatcha goin’ Whatcha goin’ Whatcha gonna use
When the run-on comes for you
Tell me! Whatcha gonna use? Whatcha gonna use?
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Whatcha gonna use, Whatcha gonna use
When you join those two?
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Break it out go
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
Coordinate
the clauses you state
Stop the comma splices
and the run-on crisis
Each conjuction
has a special function
Here’s the rule:
use a comma then go!
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Whatcha gonna use, Whatcha gonna use
When you join those two
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Break it out go
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
You show a cause with for
You link ideas with and
You didn’t do with nor
You however with but
You show a choice with or
You show contrast with yet
You show results with so
Use a comma then go!
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Whatcha gonna use, Whatcha gonna use
When you join those two
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Break it out go
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
[repeat]
Two sentence’ with no break
Can’t have them with no break
Period or semicolon gives you a break
A comma and FANBOYS will give you that break
Hey!
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Whatcha gonna use, Whatcha gonna use
When you join those two
FANBOYS, FANBOYS
Break it out go
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so!
[repeat]
No homework. 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th period bring your headphones to class.
