Quick review: Fragments• To be a complete sentence- – Subject – Verb– Express a

complete thought• Watch for words

like “although” and “because”!• Because I went

to the park.

Fragment!

Combining SentencesCoordinating 1.Use a comma & a coordinating conjunctionThe speaker rose to his feet, and the room became quiet.

2. Use a semicolon, an adverbial conjunction, and a comma – I worked hard; therefore, I expected results.

3. Use a semicolonI worked hard; I expected results

Clauses

• A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb

Subject Verb

You stink.

Sally is talking.

Subject

Verb

I love grammar

Sally is talking loudly

Most clauses have further information after the verb

Two Types of Clauses

• Independent clause (Main clause)– Can stand alone as a sentence– Can be joined to another clause– Fred filled a cardboard tube with gunpowder.

• Dependent clause (Subordinate clause)– Cannot stand alone as a sentence– Must be joined to an independent clause– Because he wanted to make his own

firecrackers.

A word that joins clauses is a conjunction

Joining Clauses• A dependent clause can be joined

to an independent clause to make a sentence– Fred filled a cardboard tube with

gunpowder because he wanted to make his own firecrackers.

Or

– Because he wanted to make his own firecrackers, Fred filled a cardboard tube with gunpowder.

When the sentence starts with the dependent clause, it must have a comma before the independent clause

Run-ons• Run-ons are independent clauses

that have been combined incorrectly. • There are several types:– The AND run-on– The Fused run-on– The comma splice

We will be going into detail on each one

The and run on (pg 146)

• two or more relatively long independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction without any punctuation.

Goal 1 AND per sentence (some situations warrant 2)(Because this has no punctuation, we have to read it in

one breath.)

– I met Charlyce in a yoga class at the YWCA and we liked each other immediately and we soon became friends and we often hang out at each other’s houses.

The Fused run on• two or more independent

clauses run together without any punctuation. – The girls made the fire the

boys cooked the steaks.

The comma splice run-on • The comma splice: two or more

independent clauses run together with only a comma.

– I met Charlyce in a yoga class at the YWCA, we soon became friends.

– Sounds right? It is actually two separate independent ideas/clauses. We COULD add a ; (semicolon) to make it correct, or we could separate into two sentences.

Review: Run ON

• Fragment= incomplete• 2 or more independent clauses

(whole sentences) combined incorrectly. – Too many ANDS (goal 1-2 “and”s per

sentence)– Fused • Jammed together with no punctuation

– Comma Splice• Jammed together with just a comma (need

comma conjunction!!!)

I went to the store and bought a candy bar and who did I see there but Kevin who got me a coke and so we went to the park together.

Kevin bought me a coke so we went to the park together. Kevin bought me a coke, we went to the park together

Plagiarism, Citing & Using Sources

Tosspon’s English 105Heald College

Obvious Plagiarism

• buying, stealing, or borrowing a paper (including, of course, copying an entire paper or article from the Web);

• hiring someone to write your paper for you; and copying large sections of text from a source without quotation marks or proper citation.

Cite It

• Words or ideas presented in a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium

• Information you gain through interviewing or conversing with another person, face to face, over the phone, or in writing

• When you copy the exact words or a unique phrase• When you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts,

pictures, or other visual materials• When you reuse or repost any electronically-available

media, including images, audio, video, or other media

DON’T Cite It• Writing your own lived experiences, your own observations

and insights, your own thoughts, and your own conclusions about a subject

• When you are writing up your own results obtained through lab or field experiments

• When you use your own artwork, digital photographs, video, audio, etc.

• When you are using "common knowledge," things like folklore, common sense observations, myths, urban legends, and historical events (but not historical documents)

• When you are using generally-accepted facts, e.g., pollution is bad for the environment, including facts that are accepted within particular discourse communities, e.g., in the field of composition studies, "writing is a process" is a generally-accepted fact.

Must Cite in 2 places: In-text

Paraphrasing

• Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

– Paraphrase. In Chapter 11 of Into the Wild, Walt, McCandless’s father, remembers an early hike with twelve-year-old Chris. They made it to 13,000 feet before turning back from the 14,256-foot summit in Colorado. Chris did not want to quit, and complained all the way down (Krakauer, 109).

Summarizing

• Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.

Summary. In Into the Wild, Krakauer seems to be working out his own past and his relationship with his father as well as telling the sad story of Chris McCandless. Because Krakauer, too, is a man of the outdoors, he understands something about the call of the wild.

As Kermit the Frog points out, Kermit the Frog profoundly states, According to Kermit the Frog,

“It’s not easy being green” (123).

Analyze your quote/: Relate it to your point Judging from his peeling skin, we can see that

Kermit it right. The depletion of the ozone makes life difficult for not only humans but

green animals as well.

Thus we can see that even a famous frog suffers from the color of his skin.

Sadly, Kermit isn’t always the happy frog he appears to be on TV.

Here Kermit is referring to the prejudice our society has against green creatures.
