WARM UP List all the ABSTRACT nouns that “SLOWM” discussed: Hint: What THEMES/TOPICS/ISSUES did the story hint at? E.g., masculinity Dreams, ambition, escapism, reality, fantasy, imagination, marriage, masculinity, dissatisfaction, disrespect, the common man, drudgery, boredom, adventure, insecurities, identity issues, memory, heroism, self -esteem, reactivity. What do you think it was saying about reactivity? Write a few sentences on this topic. Independence: it’s better to be yourself and be independent because if not, other people are going to tell you who to be. MORE NOUNS (NOM, DO, IO, POS, OP) REVIEW: LAST WEEK’S QUIZ Most common errors: Points were deducted if you capitalized a common noun. Be INTENTIONAL about your academic writing (that’s the dif ference between normal and academic writing). Pre- AP English: “English” is a proper noun. Languages, ethnicities, and races are always capitalized (for fear of offending someone). “God” is capitalized, “gods” is not (common form, not a name). Nice double explanation of “bubble” as both concrete AND abstract; if you said bubble was just concrete, that’s ok too as long as you were thorough and used both words. Standard English: Wednesday is concrete (it begins and ends) Nice that almost everyone tried the bonus question! Almost everyone got it right! MORE NOUNS: WHY? They are the basic building blocks to more elaborate and intricate sentences NOUN CASES Nouns can be used in many ways (cases): Case 1 . As nominatives (NOM) (subjects; main “doer” of the sentence) E.G.: Sheila gave. Case 2. As direct objects (D.O.) (completes a verb) E.G.: Sheila gave a pencil. Case 3. As indirect objects (I.O) (receives the D.O.) Sheila gave a pencil to Monica. OR, Sheila gave Monica a pencil. Case 4. As object of the preposition (O.P.) (come after position words) Sheila gave a pencil to Monica before the test. Case 5. Possessive noun (P0S) (Ownership) Sheila gave a pencil to Monica before Mrs. Orozco’s test. MORE INFO ON #1. NOMINATIVES Two types of NOMs: Subject (S): Doer of the sentence E.g. Carlos sits on the couch. Into the very late hours of the night, Mrs. Orozco grades papers. In spite of not understanding the concept, the student tried to do his homework. Predicate Nominative (PN): Noun that RENAMES/DESCRIBES the doer, located in predicate (After verb) Usually after a form of “be” (is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been ) E.g., The woman is a teac her. The computer was a Dell. I am president of the Spanish club. They were athletes on the football team. All the girls in the class were friends. He was being immature. Albert remained a good student throughout college. PRACTICE Write all the nouns in each sentence (Don’t write the sentence; it takes too long). Label them according to their case.
