Learning Objective

I can write a complete sentence with a subject and a predicate.

  • 1

    The subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells what is happening in the sentence.

  • 2

    To help students focus on writing complete sentences, have them write a single sentence on a strip of paper and use the line drawing strategy to plan out their writing.

  • 3

    Create an anchor chart that visually reminds students of the parts of a sentence, including the subject, predicate, capital letter, and period.
