Syntax

Greetings!
Today we'll start a new point of focus: syntax.
What is it? What does it mean?

We started today by telling some stories - emotional stories.

After we hear a few, think about how they told the story - what types of sentences did they use?
Were they:

  • slow and deliberate
  • fragmented and incomplete
  • rushed and disorganized
  • very long and uninterrupted
  • a steady, walking pace
  • hesitant; starting and stopping
  • brief and abrupt

Next we'll look at this sheet to help us think about those stories and how they are structured: Syntax handout
