Complex Sentences (Notes from 9/22)

•Complex Sentence: contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses▫A dependent clause cannot stand on its own as

a sentence; it is a fragment. ▫A dependent clause is created when you use a

subordinating conjunction. •Example: We rode our bikes because the

weather was beautiful.•Explanation: independent clause + dependent

clause with subordinate conjunction (“because”)

Writing Time•On the loose leaf paper I gave you yesterday,

draft your short story.▫This should be a minimum of 2 pages.▫Make sure you have a clearly developed theme. ▫Be sure to think about how to develop your

characters.▫Please consider which point of view would be

best. 1st person is very personal if the story is emotional. 3rd person limited is also very useful to focus on

one character but is not told by the character. 3rd person omniscient is all-knowing and informs

the reader about more characters.
