This week, we tackle descriptive writing and subject variety, nouns and noun rules, and the Southeast Region.
Tonight's homework:
1. Finish pages 5, 9, and 10 of your subject/predicate packet. Follow these steps: a) draw a dividing line to the left fo the verb (left is subject, right is predicate)--remember to look for multiple clauses on page 10
b) Underline everything to the left of the line. This is the entire subject, and will help you identify what type of subject is in this sentence. (if 2 clauses, remember that you will have two separate subjects--stop at the conjunction for the second clause when underlining).
c) Circle the noun/pronoun which is the main what/who of the sentence. This is the simple subject.
d) On page 10, identify each subject on the line below.

do we need to follow the wilf on our ruff draft
like have prepositional phrases, no linking verbs, sentence fluency?
Also can you put the linking verbs on the blog?
We will not be grading the draft for WILF--however, the more you follow the wilf in your draft, the less work you'll have to do for your final piece.
what are judgement sentences?
think back to our evaluations. We used words that showed our own opinions. This is the same idea. How did this event make YOU feel? was the weather beautiful (might be to you, not to Stewart) etc. Does that help?
on page 8 it says you may use a dictionary. do we have to use a dictionary?
do we need to do the review work and draft work?
in our moment in time writing should we use complete compound subjects because if we do it will not be as discriptive?
how could i say the sun was trying to come out but start it with a verb?
No, you do not have to use a dictionary
No, just the primary sentences
you should use a variety of subjects, Ashley, to keep the sentences from sounding too forced--but complete and complete compound will help you fill in those descriptions of the event you are presenting. If you work hard to integrate the super starters (infinitives, participle or gerund phrases, triples and doubles especially) you will help your sentences flow together while using lots of complete/compound completes.
straining as if on a leash, the sun muscled is way onto the horizon....filling every nook and cranny of the sky, the morning sun seized the moment and painted.....be creative! Let your inner poet shine, Ashley
