27. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. Parts of the Sentence: Topic and Comment • There are two parts to every sentence: a topic and a comment. • The topic of a sentence is the beginning of the sentence and tells what the sentence is about. • The comment is the rest of the sentence. It’s what the writer has to say about the topic.

31. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. Sentence Chaining Practice: Substitution Now revise the analysis of your first body paragraph (last night’s homework) by incorporating either repetition, nominalization, or substitution. Step 1:Look over analysis vocabulary notes Step 2:Make sure you answer all the questions analysis should have (restate part of quote, Why? How?) Step 3: Identify topic(s) and comment(s) Step 4: Choose a sentence chaining technique (look over practice and notes) Step 5:Sentence Chain and re-read!!

32. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. What is Sentence Chaining? • A writing technique used to improve style and to expand on ideas and analysis of a big idea. • Connecting the comment of a sentence to the topic of the sentence that comes after it. This helps you build on your ideas and expand your thinking. • It helps writers avoid repetitive dead end writing (like the Do Now) and helps the reader follow your line of thinking.

33. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. Sentence Chaining Technique #1: Repetition • You’ve probably been told that repetition is bad. It’s true that you don’t want to overdo it! Over-repetition can make your writing monotonous. However, some repetition can be useful in helping you develop your ideas. • You can take a word from a comment and repeat it in the following topic. • Examples:

34. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. Technique #2: Nominalization • Nominalization is a word that means taking a word that isn’t a noun and turning it into a noun. • Often this can be done by adding –ion, -ness, -ityto the end. So a verb like communicate can be turned into the noun communication. The word polite can become the noun politeness, or the word scarce can become scarcity. • Using nominalization, a verb or adjective in a comment can be turned into a noun in the next topic. Example:

35. Objective: SWBAT1. Identify three different types of sentence chaining and explain the connection between sentence chains and analysis. Technique #3: Substitution • To substitute, you can use a synonym for one of the key words in the comment, use a pronoun, or summarize the main idea of the comment. • Sometimes writers try to summarize just with the pronoun this. However, this often leave the reader wondering what this refers to. • When using this, it is best, most of the time, to follow it with at least a noun that indicates to the reader what you’re discussing. Example:
