Narratives & Punctuation

1. We performed our dialogue conversations, with each interlocutor portraying a specific gender and age. With this brief activity, you were required to pay close attention to diction and how this portrays a character in a narrative.
2. We reviewed vocabulary by playing last person standing. That means your quiz is tomorrow!
3. We read "My Mother Never Worked," a sample narrative that we discussed in small groups.
4. We started punctuation rules by identifying independent and dependent clauses, learning about the rule of 5 and how it involves those FANBOYS, seeing how commas impact the mixing of independent and dependent clauses, and locating transitions and their punctuation.

For homework, finish highlighting 1-5 on the punctuation handout and complete Narrative Warm-up number 3 (on notebook paper, no full sentences required).

In addition, don't forget that your future narrative essay for this course can double as a college application essay. You are more than welcome to bring in a prompt that you will use on your application.
