Can you manipulate the different openings to your sentences. Remember, a strong piece of writing uses a variety of these techniques combined with prepositional phrases, proper noun and emotion sttementsSimple Subject
The garden/
Complete Subjects
A long colorful carpet/
Compound Subjects
Parcels and packages/
Complete Compound Subjects
A mountain of dirty clothes or a pile of spent books/
Integrating a prepositional phrase
In my mind, this disheveled cornor of our family house/...
JUST WRITE FIRST...THEN GO BACK AND ADAPT THE GRAMMAR
THEN READ IT TO SOMEBODY. Can they see the place? Can they tell how YOU feel about the place from you writing?

is this a good topic sentence... When the boys and girls walk into my room they first notice the amazing posters.

Maybe I missed this, but are we supposed to do the advanced subject worksheet?
On #8 on the Natural Resources sheet it says name 5 things that help to save our natural resources.
Could it be things to save the enviorment???
For e.g. -Recycling??
or... - plant trees????
Which one is more reasonable??????
Forrester,
What advanced subject?? I don't think i got that???
i dont think we are unless he gave us one which i dont think he did
Abbie- is that complex sentence missing anything?
end it with a prep. phrase stating where the posters are...
Next sentence 'suggestion'..make it a feeling...
What do those boys and girls 'feel' about what they see?
Forrester... no ... w/sheet cancelled for now ..until tomorrow!
Sarah.. EXACTLY THAT!
you're right Sabrina :-)
anybody else want to share their best 'descriptive' sentence?
Sorry y'all,I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
-Forrester
Should we bullet point our ways to help the enviornment?
thanks for the tip
Forrester,
it doesn't matter because you don't have to explain.

Does there need to be 2 of each subject? This has nothing to do with the topic, but have any of you won in that ping-pong game. I haven't got more than 3 points.
5 Points!!!!!!!! (:
Hayden,
You need two of each subject and I have gotten up to seven in the ping pong game but have not won. Is it ok to use 'I' in your descriptive writing.
- Mary Grace
Mr. B said you can use 1 or 2 I's because it helps to use a variety of subjects to start sentences. By the way how did you get 7 points?
Thanks.
Oh, and I guess I'm just good at online ping pong. (not the real thing) :)
- Mary Grace
Mary Grace...I am the ping pong champion..and I beat the game 3 times...once 15-13
Awesome!!

Could a good simple subject be... The white closet in Bob's room holds a lot of clothes... be correct???
Also... The itchy rug in Bob's room has many different colors in an oval shape... could that be a complete subject???
An no subject in a sentence with a prep. phrase right?
About how many pronouns may I use??? And if no pronouns then what can I put instead of Sarah, she, her, etc??????
Sarah,
there is still a subject in a sentence that begins with a prep. For example. On Saturday, The boy played tennis.
subject- the boy
The first sentence is complete, not simple.
I know we should lable our different types of subjects, but should we highlight the prep. phrases?
-Forrester
In... our place we know well... righting can a subject be in the middle so for ex.
Even though she would like to change the bright color and etc...
like that??????
-SCN
Forrester,
I'm underlining the prep. phrases i'm almost possitive thats ok.
Also I'm highlighting my subjects and then labeling them... i also have a key for ex.
Highlight (the highlight word is highlighted in yellow)-
simple
Highlight (now this one is in green)- complete subject
and i'm underlining my prep. phrases
May we just put what type of subject it is in parentheseis at the end of the sentence?
-Forrester
Remember when we added something to our writings from before? Do we still have to have those? If we do, what did we do?
-Forrester
Forrester... don't write type of subject in (..) makes writing messy. Label as shown in h/w sheet
you do not have to label you prep. phrases as they will be too many to do so.. .won't they!
Sarah... your sentences were fine.. .you are actually creating possible apppositives .. see your example
The itchy rug, in Bob's room, has many different colors in an oval shape...
PING PONG IS SO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also they used really good prep. phrases in that book
-Sarah
The highest points I've got in ping pong are 1-3
It is really hard!!!
my highest score is 5 and the only time I have been in the lead was
1-4. How do you beat ping-pong?!!!!
-Forrester
stay back and serve to the corners.
