Tuesday Tip 2 - Fragments

Hi there, Middle School students! Welcome to Mrs. Allen's first attempt at blogging!

I received many wonderful corrections to the sentence fragment I gave you last week. Your responses have been so numerous that I decided to try this format so that your work can be seen and enjoyed by more people than just one teacher!

Originally, I said that I would share one corrected fragment from a 7th grader and one from an 8th grader, but there were too many creative fragment fixes for me to choose just two! So...see if your fragment fix appears here, and plan to visit my blog again for next week's Tuesday Tip. Enjoy!

Your mission was to: Add your choice of words and any necessary punctuation to the fragment "But the ice cream melted" to make it a complete sentence.
