Introduction
(5 minutes)- Review the basic parts of a sentence: the subject (the person, place, or thing that is doing something) and the predicate (the part of the sentence containing a verb, which states something about the subject).
- Remind students that all sentences will have these two parts. The most simple sentences have just a subject and a verb (i.e. Dogs bark.) Write the example sentence on the board to reference later.
- Explain that today we are going to learn how to draw a diagram that shows us the basic parts of a sentence.
