Essential Question

Write this question down in your ELA interactive notebook.

Why is it important to recognize the difference between a complete sentence and a sentence fragment (incomplete sentence)?

Page 3: Complete Sentences and Sentence Fragments

A Complete Sentence

A complete sentence is a sentence that tells a complete thought. It tells who or what, and it tells what happens.

A complete sentence has a “who” and a “do.”For example:

Chris plays the guitar every day. The boys left their coats on the

playground.

Page 4: Complete Sentences and Sentence Fragments

A Sentence Fragment (Incomplete Sentence)

A fragment does NOT tell a complete thought. It is either missing the “who” or the “do.”

For example:

Told her brother to clean up his room. (Missing a “who”)

The girl who danced like a swan. (Missing a “do”) Swimming in the ocean. (Missing a “who”) Janice, who lives down the street from me. (Missing a

“do”)

Now YOU try some on your own…

In just a minute, you will receive some strips of paper. Each strip will have a set of words on it. You need to decide if the words make up a complete sentence or a sentence fragment (incomplete sentence).

Cut out the strips of paper and put them in the correct pocket.

If you finish before I call time, take them out and try it again. Or, you may try writing your own complete and incomplete sentences on the backside of your paper.
