  1. Warm-Up 10/22/12Write the participle/noun modified • The pacing lion made Tyler nervous. • A part of the broken bat nearly hit Aharon on third base. • Patience dreamed that the football team had a winning season. • The hunted animal camouflaged itself from Olin. • The road sign read, “Watch for falling octopi!”

  2. The Participial Phrase • Participial phrase: used as adj. consists of a participle and any complements [nouns] or modifiers [other adj] that go with it. • Examples: (see if you can find what would be the participial phrase and word it modifies!) • We just saw Carlos playing soccer in the park. • The crew of the space shuttle launched on Friday will repair the satellite.

  3. For my step-by-step friends: “How to find the participial phrase”: • Find and eliminate the main verb of the sentence so you don’t confuse that as a verbal. **do not cross out prepositional phrases** • Find the participle. (check: does it describe a noun? Can I use it in a sentence as a verb?) • Look for what goes with the participle: • 9 times out of 10, it is followed by a prepositional phrase. • Ex.: The dog, searchingfor food, roamed the neighborhood. • The 1 time out of 10 is the exception… followed by an adverb, etc. • Ex: The horse, walking slowly, approached the trainer. • Now you’ve found it! To check to see what it modifies, ask yourself, “Which noun is this phrase giving me more information about?”

  4. TFA • Assigned group to read TFA ch 9-10: • Reader (read out loud for 1 page at a time) • Question-tracker (checks to see if anything read answers something on the reading guide) • Annotater (finds what to mark—focus on masculinity, strength and weakness)
