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 is 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.

I have color-coded the parts of speech to help you identify them in the above example and apply them to your own work.
Line 1. Start with a simple sentence (article + noun + verb)
Line 2. Add where (prepostional phrase)
Line 3. Add when (prepositional phrase)
Line 4. Add how (adverb)
Line 5. Rearrange and experiment to find the best-sounding sentence.
Line 6. Add what (adjectives)
Line 6. (again) Change specific words to carry more meaning
all lines- Edit for puncuation/capitalization/spelling/grammar
You are posting directly to this site; therefore, you are not turning in paperwork. Don't forget to add your name and remember to log off the site when you are done.
I will start everyone off with a Masterpiece Sentence of my own:
The fish swims.

The fish swims in the ocean during red tide.
The fish swims slowly in the ocean during red tide.
During red tide, the fish swims slowly in the ocean.
During red tide, the bloodthirsty shark swims menacingly in the lagoon.

We will share our assignment in class on Friday, 10/10 after the vocabulary test. Remember time is short; once the assignment window closes it will be too late to post your sentence and you will not earn credit. Paper copies are not accepted. I look forward to reading your masterpiece sentence!
