Your first assignment is to write a Masterpiece Sentence. You begin with a simple sentence and add to it until you end up with a complex sentence. Here's an example:
The Nile flows.
The Nile flows in Egypt.
The Nile flows in Egypt all year long.
The Nile flows quickly in Egypt all year long.
In Egypt, the Nile flows quickly, all year long.
In Egypt, the powerful Nile River flows swiftly, throughout the year.
