Complete two sentence skeletons: 1. The picture was hanging. 2. The girl screamed. There are 4 sentences per skeleton. Meat 1, 2, 3 and Fat.
As I informed you in class, good sentences are full of vivid verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and prepositional phrases. I want you to write good sentences. Use the skeleton model to put "meat" on the bare bones sentences. Make it incredibly fat!!!! Good Luck.
Example: The phone was ringing.
M1 = The phone was ringing loudly. ( Tell How with an adverb)
M2 = The cell phone was ringing loudly. (Describe the phone with an adjective)
M3 = The cell phone in my purse was ringing loudly.(Tell where with a prepositional phrase)
Fat = The cell phone in my purse was ringing loudly until I turned it off. (Add a subordinating conjunction WABU WABU WATIST)
