Writing Book 4 · Lesson 11

Mud's Two Sides

Every sentence names something and then says something about it.

What you read today

Sentence Island, pages 7–13 — the chapter Mud's Two Sides.

This lesson's text is the book itself. Your teacher has the pages; read them with the class, then do the work on your sheet.

Remember
Read it as a writer: not only what happens, but what the author did to make it happen that way.
Ask yourself: “Who or what is this about, and what is said about them?”

Remember

A sentence has two sides: who, and what about them.
