The week we will continue discussing and working on writing skills and understanding how sentences are thoughts.  Sentences give us insight into several different levels of clarity including:


  • clarity of sentence
  • clarity of paragraph
  • clarity of thesis

Students will review over the importance of being clear in their writing and expressing two things:

1.  What we are talking about - Subject
2.  What we are saying about it - Predicate


Each student will continue working on their composition writing project and apply what we have been studying in class about part of a sentence, punctuation, usage, and grammar.
