• President Snow

2) You may only use simple, compound sentences and complex sentences  + tools

e.g. Begin your piece now. Your second sentence must be compound, and your third sentence must be complex. If you follow this pattern, you will probably get an ‘A.’ You should have started by now. I need to know the difference between the sentences, so color code each one. You will become a sentence genius because you know how to follow instructions

FLOWER A flower in the spring blooms, dances, and awakens its new petals kissed by gentle sunshine and the bright colors divine. In the spring, a flower thrives. A flower in the summer enchants, charms, and displays presenting its matured form strong enough to withstand any storm. In the summer, a flower grows. A flower in the fall tires, floats, and mixes slowly drifting to sleep leaving behind a sweet aroma that it had hoped to keep. In the fall, a flower changes. A flower in the winter fades, wilts, and naps a blanket of white snow cushioning its head and an icy curtain decorates its bed. In the winter, a flower rests awaiting the spring to restart the cycle once again.
