> Daily Poem:

First Fig
Edna St. Vincent Milay

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends–
It gives a lovely light!

> Coordination (combining simple sentences - independent clauses - with a coordinating conjunction - fanboys - to create a compound sentence

> Formula: I.C. + ( , ) + fanboys (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) + I.C. = compound sentence

Example of compound sentence: It was raining, so I grabbed an umbrella.

Homework: read for 20 minutes as usual, but instead of writing a paragraph, find and write down 5 compound sentences from your reading. Due Tuesday
