He literally hammered many of these different types of sentences into us with these “brush strokes” as a major part of the semester’s lesson plan and writing tips on colored construction paper adorning his wall.

His class really helped me while I can’t share the year’s worth of work he put us through he did give me a powerpoint that he used and I decided to see what I could do in adapting it to the internets. Originally started as a tool for flaming I eventually evolved it into a full informative slideshow.

There are 5 major parts of the sideshow. Its not all of his “pallet” but it is most of what we went through that year: Participles, Absolutes, Appositives, Adjectives Out of Order, Action Verbs

Tell me what you think and hopefully it is helpful: [Full Size @Google Docs]
