Mood/Tone Video (Purpose Interwoven)

Figurative Language Figures of speech used by the author to help illustrate a message or emphasize a point

Figurative Language Helps literature be more descriptive and interesting Hyperbole: exaggeration Idiom: expressions or figures of speech with a non-literal meaning Metaphor: comparison between two unlike things Simile: comparison between unlike things using “like” or “as” Personification: giving objects human qualities

Idiom An expression that doesn’t make sense when read literally
Every language/culture has their own American English: It’s raining cats and dogs It’s so hot out, I might melt. Spanish idiom example: Estar hecho un ají Translation: “to have a chili” Means: to become very angry

Hyperbole Extreme exaggeration “It’s so hot, I’m going to die!”

Metaphor Comparison between two unlike things
“Daniel was a ghost. He rarely ever came to class.”

Simile Comparison using “like” or “as” “She smells like a rose.”

Personification Giving human-like qualities to inanimate objects
“The wind howled through the trees.”

Alliteration: Similar sounds in the beginning of the word “The deliberate Doberman dog dug in the yard.” Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds “Doesn’t it feel like a dream, or like steel was the core of your bones after your protein meal drink?” Consonance: Repetition of consonant sounds in words The mask was hidden behind the damascus biscuit sculpture.

Style Type of language the author uses to convey purpose of the writing and speak to intended audience Formal Informal Conversational

Word Usage Helps to set the style Can alter the message taken away from the text “Justin struggled on the phone, explaining the day’s events to his estranged father.” “Justin chatted on the phone, explaining the day’s events to his dad.” “The musty closet was full of junk, such as old photos and paintings.” “The ancient closet was full of treasures, such as old photos and paintings.”

Making Inferences Review (p. 334)
Similar to drawing conclusions or predicting

Types of Organizational Structures
Cause and Effect Classification Compare and Contrast Description Problem and Solution Sequence

Cause and Effect “Because of this, this happens”
Used often in textbooks, scientific articles, passages that give explanations of why certain things happen Example: Cheetahs are the fastest land animal. Because of this, they often catch prey other slower predators cannot catch.

Classification Placing labels to identifying subjects
Can narrow down items by placing into subcategories Example: Taxonomy of animals Dewey Decimal System

Compare and Contrast What makes things similar, and what makes them different Example: Venn Diagrams

Description Factual information about one specific topic, person, organism, object, event, etc. Example: The lightbulb is often accredited as an invention by Edison, but actually there was a man named Tesla who is now thought to be the “father of electricity”.

Problem and Solution Explains a problem and presents a solution, series of solutions Often used in help manuals, online forums, Q and A articles, advice columns, research study findings Example: When a student calls out in class, it is usually best practice to prompt the student to raise his/her hand, ignore continued calling out, and call on those who are behaving in the desired way.

Sequence Describes the order of steps, events, etc.
Example: Recipes Manuals for DIY

Usage Rules (p ) Subject-Verb Agreement Plurals/Singular Verb Tense Pronoun Usage

Chapter 5: Basic English Rules (p. 125)
This section discusses importance of noun/pronoun and grammatical rules in the Writing Section of the HiSET this is a big factor in this section Can use notecards to record these or notebook paper if you choose If it’s something you are already comfortable with, feel free use book to review

Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject- who the sentence is about Singular Plural Kim Dan I You Kim and Ryan My dog and I We The two of them

Subject-Verb Agreement Cont’d
Verb- what is the subject doing (action, state of being) Verb and subject must match forms Subject Verb Kim Ryan and Kim We Dan Was Were Have Has

Groups (p.126) Some groups are singular
Examples: The debate club was planning on meeting after school. Some things look like a group, but are singular, these are called collective nouns The pile of stuffed animals has not moved. A dozen eggs is enough to bake the pound cake.

Gerunds (p. 126) Verbs, ending with -ing which are nouns
Always considered singular nouns Example: Running late on the first day of a new job is not wise. Being early for class is advised. Taking too long on homework becomes wasteful.

Either and Or VERSUS Neither and Nor
If two singular subjects are connected by or/nor, then verb is SINGULAR Example: Joseph or Caroline is bringing the cake today. If two or more subjects are connected by or/nor, one being singular and one plural, the plural is put closest to verb and verb is PLURAL Ex: Neither Kathy nor the guys are coming tonight. If subjects are from multiple categories within 1st, 2nd, 3rd person rules, the verb agrees with subject CLOSEST. Example: Either Jamie or you have to get there early to open the restaurant.

Verb Tenses (p. 127) Verb Tense Definition Example
Simple Present Tense Currently occurring Jim goes to work. Present Perfect Tense Started in past, still occurring Eli has thrown over 100 footballs. Simple Past Tense Action already happened Bo learned to ride a bike. Past Perfect Tense Two actions, one took place before another Flo had worked as a teacher before she was promoted. Simple Future Tense Action that is future I will go to the zoo. Future Perfect Tense Action that will happen by specific future time. Will/Shall+Have+Verb Form Sadie will have finished the roof by Friday, so you can start painting.

Pronoun case (subject versus object in sentence) Example: he versus him Sam was surprised because he did not expect the same teacher. SUBJECT When Sam returned from the store, I gave him his change. OBJECT Indefinite Pronouns Example: Anyone, nobody, both, some of the children, etc. Pronoun Person Pronouns in sentence must agree with subject Pronoun Usage (p. 128)

General Review Sentences have: Practice? Subject-who is sentence about
EVERY SENTENCE HAS ONE Verb- action or state of being of subject Object- who or what the action is happening to NOT IN EVERY SENTENCE Practice?

Chapter 5 Review Pronouns-take the place of proper noun
Capitalizing pronoun? Can it replace the name directly? “I went to see my B/brother today” “I went to see my Matt today.” NO! Lowercase brother “I went to see M/mom today.” “I went to see Rose today.” YES! Uppercase Mom

Chapter 5 Review Subject/Verb must agree
One subject/one group-singular verb More than one subject or plural subject-plural verb Verb tenses must match sentence meaning and context Past tense sentence? Action happened in past? Past tense verb! “I go to the store. I got some candy there.” NO! “I went to the store. I got some candy there.”

Chapter 6 Review Punctuation!
Comma- connecting two independent clauses with conjunction OR connecting two independent clauses with conjunction OR listing OR dates OR used to separate quotes Semicolon- beginning a list with commas OR connecting two INDEPENDENT CLAUSES Apostrophe- can show ownership in singular or plural nouns depending on placement OR can connect and shorten two words (contraction) Quotes- around what is said in a sentence OR titles of shorter works

Chapter 6 Review Plurals and apostrophes
Noun with regular plurality rules (add s) Nurse-1 nurse Nurses-2+ nurses Nurse’s- 1 nurse owns something (nurse’s outfit, nurse’s shift) Nurses’- 2+ nurses own something (nurses’ outfits, nurses’ shifts) Can tell because of nouns following “nurse” if apostrophe is correct or it is a mistake in grammar If noun shows plurality in another way: Man- 1 man Men- 2+ men Man’s- 1 man owns something Men’s- 2+ men own something

Chapter 6 Review Pronouns and Ownership
NEVER apostrophes in pronoun ownership, just special pronouns His, her, its, my, their It’s= it is they’re= they are NOT POSSESSION OR PLURAL!

Chapter 7 Review Clauses-two types
Dependent- needs connection to an independent clause through comma and connecting word (conjunction) And, or, although, but, if Independent- does not need to be connected to anything; can stand on its own CAN be connected to another independent clause (2 ways) Comma+conjunction Semicolon ; Be careful of Run-ons, comma splices, sentence fragments

Chapter 7 Review Adjectives-describe NOUNS Adverbs-describe VERBS
Parallel structure-verbs must match tense I went to the store and bought candy, had fun with my friends, and run into my old teacher. What is wrong there? RUN! Should be ____________ to match the past-tense verbs in the list.
