ENSL 0081-018, 2016 Fall Semester: Final Opportunity (Part 1)
Part 1: Identifying Sentence Types
Directions: This opportunity has two parts. Part 1 relates to grammar and Part 2 relates to
explaining excerpts from Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer (J. Grisham), chapters 16-22.
Complete Part 1, hand it in, and you will receive Part 2.
Part One: Your task in this part is to find five example sentences in the text (each with at
least 14 words). You need to provide one example of each sentence type from the text
and one additional sentence that has at least three clauses. The text appears on the third
page. Follow these guidelines.

Copy each sentence in its appropriate spot on the answer sheet. Be sure to copy
the sentence exactly as it appears in the text.
Identify the subject-verb combinations. To do this, after you copy a sentence to its
appropriate spot on the answer sheet, circle each subject; circle each verb; draw a
line to connect them.
Underline each dependent clause and include only the words that belong to that
clause.
Write the clause combination in parentheses after each sentence.
Include the sentence type in parentheses after the sentence with at least three
clauses.
You need to choose a total of five sentences. As no sentence can be used for more
than one category, each sentence should appear on the answer sheet only once.
Scoring: In Part 1, each sentence you copy on the answer sheet is scored on a scale of 010 for a total of 50 points (5 items X 10 points per item) on this part of the opportunity.
As 70% is the lowest passing grade, a passing score on Part 1 of this opportunity is 35
points (70% of 50 points = 35 points)
Overall Scoring: For this final opportunity, a passing score is necessary on each part in
order for a student to pass the course.
What to use: For Part 1 of this opportunity you may use a pen or a pencil and all of your
knowledge of English. You may use nothing else, whether digital or in print on paper.
Direct any questions only to the instructor. Remember that no one leaves the room until
she/he is finished.
As usual, read carefully; choose example sentences confidently; mark each sentence
appropriately. In addition, keep all pages attached just as they are now.
