What the page should look like!

1. Now that students can identify subjects and predicates, they'll practice making them compound.

2.  First, outline the subject pieces in red and the predicate pieces in purple.  On the model sentence, box in the word Torie in red, box in reads in purple, and underline reads nightly.  Cut out all of the pieces as shown below.  You'll use a notebook page landscape for this activity.  Glue the title and model sentence in as shown below.

3.  You're going to stack each piec of these to make 2 flap booklets.  Glue the largest piece down.  Then, glue the next 3 pieces on top by putting glue on the tab only.  See photos.

4.  Write the definition on the top tabs as shown below.  Then, build the model sentences by adding the subjects/predicates indicated.  See the Notes section below.
