Objective

Students will fix run-on sentences (made of lines from Shakespeare) in three different ways, creating simple sentences, a compound sentence, and a complex sentence.

Oh and these are run-ons that I created. Shakespeare did not actually goof!

Steps

  1. I demonstrate with a line from Julius Caesar and introduce a line from Macbeth.
  2. I introduce a line from Romeo and Juliet.
  3. Next up is a line from Hamlet.
  4. Then students tackle a line from Twelfth Night.
  5. I show my choices for the final line.

The registration window closes on May 31st, 2024
