Ok, for this assignment, you will do the following:
1. Find a piece of print material (newspaper, book, magazine, etc.)
2. Copy one 8 word or more sentence from that print source.
3. Identify each part of speech in that sentence.
So, once you find your sentence, go to the comments section, copy the sentence, then tell what each word is.
We have just done the basics of part of speech, so you may have some words that you don't know. Take an educated guess.
You won't be graded on getting all the words right, but you will be graded for effort.
Due by 10 pm on Monday.
Have a fantastic weekend!
