8F,8M,8R - Read at least 30 minutes and record. Finish part two of  "Vary Sentence Beginnings". You are hunting for good examples of the ways to begin in your novel.  You must find two examples for each way. Ten sentences in all.If you can't find them in your novel, then make up your own sentences.  Vary sentence beginnings by choosing to begin with:1) an adverb-  describes the verb and answers to How?When?Where? and Why? It often ends in -ly2) a preposition- these words show location and can be found on the "Useful Transitions" sheet3)an adjective- these words describe the noun and answer to Which one? What knid? How many? Whose?4) a participle phrase-  a form of the verb that is changed so that it ends in -ing 5) a dependent phrase- a phrase that is an incomplete thought. It quite often begins with subordinate conjunctions like since, although, if, when, unless, even thoughDon't forget that you have many examples on your sheet.  :)
