Introduction

Hi grammarians! Today, we will review the importance of adding simple and compound sentences to your writing! If we only had simple sentences, it would be pretty boring for us to write and for our readers to read! We should mix up sentence structures, so that we can make our writing more interesting!

In Your Notebook: Rewrite the paragraph. It is written in all simple sentences, but you should try to include at least one compound sentence (try using the FANBOYS conjunctions). 

I broke my leg. I broke it in two different places. I had to go to the hospital. They gave me an x-ray. I needed to get a cast. I chose green. Green is my favorite color.

Introduction

Hey reader! We will be reviewing our plots to the story element theme!

Plot is what is happening in the story and the theme is the lesson that can be learned from the story. What does the author want us to know or learn based upon the character's struggles?

Stop and Jot

In Your Notebook:  Read for 30 minutes. Think about possible themes of your text. Write them down and then support your theme with evidence. Why do you think this is the theme?
