Session Description:
As students progress through school, they encounter greater text density. This means that there are more ideas, or proposition, per sentence with less repetition, essentially less redundancy, than conversation. They also encounter longer and more complex sentence structures, especially in narrative text, biography, and history. If students cannot successfully read and make sense of phrases, clauses, and sentences, they will not be able to discern the significance of an entire text---especially in dense, complex texts. This has huge implications for intermediate students. Thus, this session explores the role of syntax at the word, phrase, clause, and sentence levels to support meaning making within and across sentences.
