  The rest of the week we will be discussing and working on writing construction and skills.  In order  to say anything clearly we need two things:





1.  What we are talking about - Subject
2.  What we are saying about it - Predicate






In writing it is important to write sentences that are composed mostly of parts of sentence, with few modifiers.  Pick a strong noun as a direct object - one that does not need an adjective to rescue it.  This helps to write tight sentences and allows the main terms of thought to stand out clearly.
