SENTENCE STRUCTURE
Second,We’ll look at
PUNCTUATION
![Page 12: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PUNCTUATION•Inverted Commas (“”)•Semi-colons (;)•Colons (:)•Single Dash (-)_________________________•Dashes (- -) •Brackets () PARENTHESIS•Commas (,)
![Page 13: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Inverted Commas”
• Quotations

• Words used in an unusual way.
• To imply something is “so called” and not genuine.
![Page 14: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Semi colons ;
• Separates longer phrases within lists.

![Page 15: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Semi colons cont.
• Connects two separate but linked ideas to form a sentence.
• E.g

![Page 16: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

![Page 17: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Colons - Examples

Test – Can you use the word “namely” instead of the colon?

Ellipses…

SENTENCE STRUCTURE
Third, we’ll look at
SENTENCE PATTERNS
![Page 21: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SENTENCE PATTERNS•Inversion •Repetition•Climax•Anti- Climax•Antithesis•Long Sentences•Short Sentences
![Page 22: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INVERSIONThe words are turned
around(different from the usual expected order)
to emphasise a particular word or idea.
e.g. Down and down poured the rain
ORHappy I am not.ORSuddenly, the door opened.
![Page 23: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
REPETITON
The words or structure of the sentence are repeated
to emphasise a particular point/idea
![Page 24: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CLIMAX•Usually comes at the end of a list.
•Builds up to the most important point.
![Page 25: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
List, repetition and climax.
• “I came, I saw, I conquered,”
![Page 26: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ANTI-CLIMAX•The opposite of Climax•The author builds up
to something that doesn’t actually happen.
E.G. The football team trained really hard, put all their effort into the game, had five attempts at goal and still lost the game.
![Page 27: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ANTITHESIS
• Anti = the opposite• Two ideas that contrast with each
other appear in the same sentence.E.G. 1."We must learn to live together as
brothers or perish together as fools." (Martin Luther King, Jr)
2. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; It was the age of wisdom, it was the age
of foolishness." (Dickens)
![Page 28: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
LONG SENTENCES•Long sentences are
often used to describe a complicated or long process or to describe a lot of activity going on at the same time.
THE SENTENCE MIMICS THE SENSE.
![Page 29: Higher Close Reading](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5681554f550346895dc31ba8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
SHORT SENTENCES
•Can indicate something has stopped (usually rather suddenly)
•Can emphasise a particular point.
•Can create suspense•Can present info in a matter-of-fact way.
