Gutenberg Exchange Lesson 9a: Relative Clauses
Computer Literacy Objectives: This version of Lesson 9 asks
you to continue working with wordprocessing. It does NOT introduce
you to HTML. If you wish, you can
switch to the HTML version. (Recommended
for advanced classes)
Writing Objectives: You learn how to construct and identify
relative clauses.
In this lesson, you will learn about relative clauses, you will down load
a file containing model sentences, and you will imitate the sentences
contained in that file.
Instructions
- Review adjective clusters, and return
to this page.
- Go to an introduction to relative clauses,
and read it carefully.
- Go to a page containing sample relative clauses.
Save it to disk by clicking on the "File" option in the upper left corner
of the Netscape screen and selecting the "Save as" option.
- After saving the sample relative clauses to disk, open your
word processor anddload the file. Your word processor will probably ask you
what kind of document it is. It is a "Text" document, or an "ASCii"
document.
- Delete all of the HTML coding (commands inside < and >),
leaving the text of "sample relative clauses."
- Under each sentence, type in an imitation of the sentence, using
your own words but employing relative clauses as the model sentence
does.
- When you have imitated all of the sentences, go through the text,
making the format clear, and putting your name and section number on it.
- Have a classmate check your work.
- Print, save, and hand in the completed paper.
- Close down all open programs, and shut down your computer.
