1. Compound Sentence A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses and has more than one subject. Ex: The marbles fell all over the floor, and I made my cousin pick them up. The marbles fell all over the floor (IC) + I made my cousin pick them(the marbles) up (IC) = Compound Sentence (2 IC).

2. Complex Sentence A complex sentence is made up of one independent clause and one dependent clause or two dependent clauses. Ex: Janice went to the store, because she needed to get more eggs. Janice went to the store (IC) + She needed to get more eggs (DC) = Complex Sentence (1 IC + 1 DC).

3. Compound Complex Sentence A compound complex sentence is made up of two independent clauses and one dependent clause or two dependent clauses and one independent clause.

The birds are migrating for the winter (IC) + While planning their return for spring (DC) + The bears fatten up for hibernation (IC) = Compound Complex Sentence (2 IC + 1 DC). _

3. Complete a 3-2-1 Activity completing:

3 differences between commas and semi colons - Semi-colons signify a longer pause than a comma - Commas emphasize relationships between parts of a sentence - Semi-colons are used for dramatic effect

2 sentences using (and explaining why you used) comma - Jason went to the party, but it had been cancelled. (linking two independent clauses) - Jane, Amelia, and Carlos went to the movies. (separating a series/list of things)

1 sentence using (and explaining why you used) semi colon - The surgeon determined the patient could not be saved; there was too much blood loss. (combining 2 IC into one sentence without using a conjoining word)
