We reviewed Olivia's three prior test papers/essays as well as her SAT practice exam homework in order to focus on proper punctuation, consistent verb tense, and run-ons. I explained the proper use of apostrophes, reviewed joining independent clauses with a comma and conjunction , and differentiated the use of conjunctions and of certain connectors such as "however, and consequently" that require a new sentence or semi-colon in order to avoid a run-on sentence. We looked at some of Olivia's written work and addressed corrections per our grammar lesson.Thereafter, we reviewed Olivia's corrections to the SAT practice test and discussed why her initial choices were not the best or correct answer ,again focusing on punctuation and run-ons .I have scheduled our final test on "The Scarlet Letter " for tomorrow. We will then read and study "Daisy Miller "by Henry James. I distributed the book today and provided some introduction.
