Write to Respond
- Complex Sentences - are sentences made of a dependent and an independent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction. A subordinating conjunction joins two clauses to form a complex sentence. A dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a complete thought and is usually introduced by a subordinating conjunction. An independent clause can stand on its own as a complete thought.
Write to Respond
- Focus Trait: Ideas - in a response to literature, good writers support their ideas with strong reasons and give specific details from the selection to support each reason. Good writers also include details that show, rather than tell, their ideas to the reader.

In this unit, you have to write a suspense story that occurs in this place (see the photo below).
1. The story must be realistic enough to give the reader the
feeling that the events could happen to anyone. Avoid
wild exaggerations, supernatural interventions, and outrageous
parodies.
2. Downplay violence. The suspense should derive from the
sense of dread or something unknown about to happe,, not from machine guns,
bombs, or knives.
