Parallel Journeys and a Sentence Quiz!

This week we have been reading excerpts from the book Parallel Journeys by Eleanor Ayer. This book tells two different perspectives of WWII--Alfons Heck's, a young boy growing up in Nazi Germany, and Helen Waterford's, a young Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust.

We have also been discussing finding the subjects and verbs in the following types of sentences:
1. Simple Sentences
2. Sentences with Compound Subjects and Compound Verbs
3. Questions
4. Commands
5. Sentences beginning with "There" or "Here."

Tomorrow we will take a sentence quiz on these five types of sentences. Each sentence will be taken directly from Parallel Journeys.
