Teach the use of dashes, parentheses, ellipses, brackets, and italics.

Recognize and use sentences with dashes, parentheses, ellipses, brackets, and italics.

Teach the punctuation of increasingly more involved sentences which use gerundive, participial, and infinitive phrases. Teach strategies for avoiding problems with dependent clauses.

Correctly generate sentences which contain gerund, participial, and infinitive phrases. Correctly identify problems in sentences with dependent clauses (e.g., use of adverb clause where noun clause is needed; use of incorrect case of pronoun in noun or adjective clauses; incorrect choice of subordinate conjunction "when" instead of "if," "where" instead of "whereas").

Teach strategies for avoiding problems with parallel structure.

Correctly identify problems with parallel structure (same grammatical form ) (e.g., correlative conjunctions "not only...but also," "either...or").

Teach strategies which help writers to generate increasingly more involved simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

Write increasingly more involved simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

Explain how to revise compositions by combining sentence parts and clauses in order to produce a variety of sentence structures (including simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences) and meanings.

Write increasingly more complicated sentence structures in order to modify, refine, and alter meanings.
