Today in class, we are taking a quiz on the elements of fiction.  We will also be reading the short story, "Charles" by Shirley Jackson.  Pay attention to the irony in the story as it makes for a surprise ending!

Tonight's homework:

Complete both sides of worksheet on complete subjects and complete predicates.  Make sure to read the directions carefully.

Complete Subject- part of a sentence that is made up of the noun or pronoun and the words that tell about it.

Complete predicate- part of a sentence made up of a verb and words that tell what the subject is, has, or does.

Ex. The Constitution of the United States set forth our country's basic laws.
            (complete subject-red)                          (complete predicate- blue)
