*Extra Credit Opportunity

In an effort to encourage students to synthesize their knowledge from the classroom into the real world, students may gain 5 extra credit points if, on the day of the Sentence Composing Quiz, they turn in a print out (hard copy) of a simple sentence that they identified in their own choice novel. 

Just like in class, they would need to underline the simple subject and put brackets [ ] around the simple predicate. 

They also need to include the name of the author, the page number, and the title of the novel.

For example: 

"The idea of cutting and sewing the dress by herself [was] novel and exciting."

                      - Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond  (page 21)
