Instructions: Attend the NSC Art Gallery Exhibit “Monkey Business,” and compose sentences about the art as follows. Details about the exhibit and gallery hours are on the other side of this sheet.
1. In a simple sentence with a “there” expletive, give an overall explanation of what the exhibit contains. Underline the expletive and the subject and verb of the sentence. (You might have to double-check what is meant grammatically by a “simple” sentence.)
2. Using a compound sentence joined by a coordinating conjunction, compare or contrast two of the pieces in the show. You may add any modifiers you want: adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases. Label the subject and verb of each clause, and circle the coordinating conjunction.
3. In a sentence containing an appositive adjective, describe one of the pieces of art. Underline
the appositive adjective.
4. Compose a compound sentence that tells about your response to the show. What did you think of it? Give one of the clauses a compound subject, and give the other clause a compound verb. Underline the subject(s) and verb(s) of each clause, and circle whatever connects the
clauses (coordinating conjunction, semi-colon, or conjunctive adverb).
