Michael reviews general SAT Writing section approaches and strategies and punctuation and grammar rules, then models them on a passage from the College Board SAT Practice Test 10

Michael works through the 1st two passages of Practice Test 10 (questions 1-11. 12-22) with a live demonstration of actually taking that test on each passage:

Notes: & Big Ideas

• Identify the rule that is being assessed
  • is it usage, grammar, punctuation?
  • is it matching verb tense, or singular v. plural?
  • is it usage, redundancies or logic?
• Michael reviews some punctuation rules:
  • independent clauses (IC)
  • dependent clauses (DC)
  • identifying subject-verb-object
  • requisite clauses
  • subordinating conjunctions (rendering an IC into a DC)
  • commas
  • periods
  • semicolons
  • colons
  • dashes
• Pay attention to TITLES!

More to come.  Hope this helps!
