30. How Does a Chart Help It Make Sense?

31.  Above all it provides context. It gives you a clearer sense of what the overall goals and content of what you’re reading are and this will keep you from making wild errors in what the author intended.

32. How Does a Chart Help It Make Sense?  Above all it provides context. It gives you a clearer sense of what the overall goals and content of what you’re reading are and this will keep you from making wild errors in what the author intended.  It also helps you see where the paragraph you’re studying fits in the general flow of things and how important it is in relation to the paragraphs surrounding it.

33. How do I start to figure out what the Main Point of a paragraph might be?

34.  Pay attention to the building blocks of the passage and how they fit together.

35. What are the building blocks?

36.  The clauses.

37. What are the building blocks?  The clauses.  A clause is “a group of words containing a subject and predicate” Merriam- Webster

38. What are the building blocks?  The clauses.  A clause is “a group of words containing a subject and predicate” Merriam- Webster  There are two types of clauses: major and minor.

39. What are the building blocks?  The clauses.  A clause is “a group of words containing a subject and predicate” Merriam- Webster  There are two types of clauses: major and minor.  E.g. “Grant is talking” (major clause) or “Because Grant is talking” (minor clause)

40. What are the building blocks?  A major clause can stand alone as a sentence. (Grant is talking).

41. What are the building blocks?  A major clause can stand alone as a sentence. (Grant is talking).  A minor clause cannot stand alone as a sentence (because Grant is talking).

42. What are the building blocks?  A major clause can stand alone as a sentence. (Grant is talking).  A minor clause cannot stand alone as a sentence (because Grant is talking).  “The whole purpose of diagramming is to separate the major and minor clauses and see how the flow of ideas is progressing.” – Grant Osborne

43. What a diagram looks like  Matt. 6:16-18 16 “ TWhenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, Gfor they neglect their appearance C-Eso that they will be noticed --by men Twhen they are fasting. GTruly I say to you, they have their reward in full. T… when you fast +But you, …, anoint your head and wash your face 18 C? C-E so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father Ft-Inwho is in secret; Eand your Father … will reward you. Ft-Inwho sees what is done in secret

53. How to diagram 2.Separate the major clauses from the minor clauses by indenting the minor clauses.  The easiest way to decide whether a clause is major or minor is to look at the connecting words.

54. How to diagram 2.Separate the major clauses from the minor clauses by indenting the minor clauses.  The easiest way to decide whether a clause is major or minor is to look at the connecting words.  Words like ‘and, but, yet, both-and, not only-but also, either-or, therefore, for, so’ indicate a major clause (either a parallel or main clause). These words are called “coordinating conjunctions.”

55. How to diagram 2.Separate the major clauses from the minor clauses by indenting the minor clauses.  The easiest way to decide whether a clause is major or minor is to look at the connecting words.  Words like ‘and, but, yet, both-and, not only-but also, either-or, therefore, for, so’ indicate a major clause (either a parallel or main clause). These words are called “coordinating conjunctions.”  Words like ‘unless, before, after, while, when, since, because, that, if, although, though, so that, in order that, except, as, then, where’ indicate a minor clause. These words are called “subordinating conjunctions.”

56. How to diagram 2.Separate the major clauses from the minor clauses by indenting the minor clauses.  I am bored because Grant is talking too much

57. How to diagram 2.Separate the major clauses from the minor clauses by indenting the minor clauses.  I am bored because Grant is talking too much Now becomes….

74. TIME OUT!!! Why is this important again?
