Quick Review Participles and participial phrases
![Page 5: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Painting with Participles
Participle: a verbal that functions as an adjective
Verbal: a verb form that functions in a sentence as a noun or modifier rather than as a verb.
A more simplified way to explain a participle is: “an ing verb tagged on the beginning or end of a sentence.”
![Page 6: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Same thing…with participles
“Hissing, slithering, and coiling, the diamond-scaled snakes attacked their prey.”
The participles evoke action. Suddenly, we can see the snakes coiling and slithering. We feel PART of the experience.

Participial Phrases Participial Phrases: a participle along with
any modifiers that complete the image.
Modifiers: A word, phrase, or clause that functions as an adjective or adverb to limit or qualify the meaning of another word or word group.

Combo example and explanation
“Hissing their forked red tongues and coiling their cold bodies, the diamond-scaled snakes attacked their prey.”
Both methods (single participles and participial phrases) paint more detailed picture.
Using the single participles creates rapid movement, while expanded phrases add details at a slower, but equally intense pace.

Absolutes Absolute: a two-word combination-a noun
and an ing or ed verb added onto a sentence.
Absolutes utilize verbs; therefore, this brush stroke also adds action to an image.
![Page 11: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Examples
“The cat climbed the tree.”
Does this work? Does it show or tell?
![Page 12: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Good example “Claws digging, feet kicking, the cat
climbed the tree.”
Was this better? Show or tell?
![Page 13: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Visualize 1) Close your eyes….DO IT!
2) A mountain climber is moving along a steep cliff…..pause
3) Visualize this one sentence description: “The mountain climber edged along the cliff.”
4) Now I’m going to add some absolutes (a noun combined with an ing participle).
![Page 14: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Visualize (Cont.) 5) “The mountain climber edged along the
cliff, hands shaking, feet trembling.”
6) I’m going to add more absolutes
7) “The mountain climber edged along the cliff, hands shaking, feet trembling, eyes watering, nose running.”
8) Open your eyes…which of the three worked best? Showing v. telling? The right amount of info?

Absolute tips 1 is good, 2 is good, but 3 absolutes
overloads the picture and diminishes the effect
1 or 2 creates a far more dynamic image than the original

Absolute phrases Absolute phrases combine an absolute and
a modifier.
Modifiers: A word, phrase, or clause that functions as an adjective or adverb to limit or qualify the meaning of another word or word group.
Absolute phrases are to absolutes as participial phrases are to participles.
![Page 19: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Absolute Phrases Examples
“Feet trembling on the snow covered rocks, the mountain climber edged along the cliff.”
Which part of the sentence is the absolute and which is the modifier?
Which is the noun that the absolute phrase adjective(fies)?

Maybe this will help Hopefully you have noticed, these
techniques we are using are dependent clauses and dependent clauses NEED commas.
All of our techniques are DEPENDENT phrases that connect to INDEPENDENT clauses; therefore, they need a comma.
![Page 22: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cont A group of words that has both a subject
and a verb, but (unlike an independent clause) cannot stand alone as a sentence. (AKA a subordinate clause).
Dependent clauses are additions to your sentences.
Dependent clauses add a richness to your writing that helps with sentence fluency.
![Page 23: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The comma as a telescope
Think of that comma as a telescope controller. You have your basic sentence. Its ok on its own, but there isn’t enough detail. Use THAT COMMA, and ZOOM in with it.
These participles, participial phrases, absolutes, and absolute phrases, help you add detail by ZOOMING in on your topic.
![Page 24: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example “The rhapis palm sat in a large, white
container.”
This is a simple sentence. No flavor….
If used in a research paper, an extra sentence is needed to explain details!!!
![Page 25: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example CONT. The writer can ZOOM up on any part of the
picture that is already framed by the original sentence. In this example, that means zooming up on either the container or the palm.
![Page 26: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CONT. For instance, assume the branches of the
palm are the DETAIL of interest. Without any word of transition (a skill WE all lack), only a twist of a zoom lens represented by a comma, the sentence can now read:
“The rhapis palm sat in a large, white container, the branches stretching into the air…”
The writer can now place a comma after “air” and ZOOM up something framed in this part of the sentence.
![Page 27: REAL SSR time College Prep 2-7-13. Independent Reading Novel Heads up….your first IRN needs to be done by March 1st](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110406/56649f065503460f94c1b851/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
MORE Suppose there is nothing of interest about
the air, but the branches have interesting joints or nodes, Zooming in further, the sentence now reads:
“The rhapis palm sat in a large, white container, the branches stretching into the air, fibrous joints knuckling the otherwise smooth surface.”
