Read Silently We read everyday to increase our reading level, our vocabulary, and our confidence!

Grammar Grammy A COMPLETE Sentence is… – First, it begins with a capital letter. – In addition, it includes an end mark—either a period [. ], question mark [ ? ], or exclamation point [ ! ]. – Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. A main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.main clausesubjectverb

What is complete/What is incomplete? 1.“yes, because my group made the structure stand” 2.“I do not know” 3.“it connects by making us think harder” 4.“I believe our group was successful, because we achieved the objective and worked together as a group.” 5.“If I could redo the challenge, I would have spent more time building different bases, rather than just using one base.

Review: What is the setting? The setting of a story is the place where the story happens and the time when it happens. The setting can be real or imaginary.
