ALL CHANGE! Mar. 30th, 2010

Change the words in the sentence below as indicated. You can only change the exact word in the sequence given; after someone else has posted the next change, then you can post another change. For instance, student 1 writes #1 Subject Noun, and changes the subject noun; Student 2 writes #2 Direct Object Noun, and changes that noun. Each student only makes one change at a time and keeps to the order indicated. If you complete all 7 changes, then start making more changes again from 1 to 7. Each student should build on the changes that the previous students make.

Changes:
1. subject noun 2. direct object noun 3. indirect object noun
4. adjective(s) 5. adverb(s) 6. verb name 7. verb tense

SAADAT:Saadat--you;ve changed the adjectives, too; note that the adjectives don't need capital letters;-)
JULIE: Yes!
INGRID: Good, and thanks for correcting the capitalization:-)

Saadat said...

Sorry Veronica,

#2. Direct Object Noun:

Sophia greedily ate the Honey glazed Ham from her aunt.

Veronica Baig said...

SAADAT: OK, but actually you don't need any capitals there--Easter is capitalized because that adjective is derived from a proper noun. In your sentence, ham is a common noun, and honey is derived from a common noun--no capitals;-)

SAADAT: #2--good; #5--you should have also kept the changes that Julie and Ingrid made; #6--yes; #7--you should have used the verb "take" (change #6) and used it in another verb tense. With each sentence, you need to incorporate and build on the previous changes;-)
