In Framing Your Thoughts (Writing Curriculum) we have learned/reviewed:
-A sentence is framed with a capital letter and ends with a stop sign (period, question mark, exclamation point).
-A subject names the person, place, thing, or idea that the whole sentence is focusing in on.
-A compound subject is two subjects joined with a connector ("and"); A series subject has 3 or more subjects and is joined with commas and a connector.
-An action predicate tells the action of the subject.
-A compound predicate is two predicates joined with a connector; A series predicate has 3 or more predicates and is joined with commas and a connector.
-Examples of substitute namers are I, he, she, we, they, who you, and it.
-There are 4 predicate expanders: where, how, when, and why. They tell more information about the predicate.
Ask your child to write you a sentence (and frame it) using some of these components.
I like when we had to find where the sentence had to go in the for slots Why, Where, How,and When.
ReplyDeleteThank you, for doing Framing Your Thoughts with us! It challenges my brain because it is not math but math challenges my brain too!!!
