Sentences Lesson, Grades 3-4: Subjects, Predicates & Complete Sentences

"The silly clown." Is that a whole idea? In about 40 minutes, students learn that a complete sentence has a subject (who or what the sentence is about), a predicate (what the subject does or is) and a complete thought. They draw the line between the two parts, then sort word groups into complete sentences and word groups that are not complete.
