Step 3: Read each sentence. Then identify the italicized section by the type of sentence element it is. If you are unfamiliar with any of the proverbs in the sentences, you may refer to Chapter 8 (page 142-156).

		1. Kaitlyn told Megan to strike while the iron is hot.
		2. When I said I never like going to the beach, Carlos flew off the handle.
		3. My friend Alex loves having his hair bright green, so I guess there's no accounting for taste.
		4. It must have been the cost of the new dress that caused Dalia to get cold feet.
		5. I told Jasmine that we need more members in our new photography club, and she answered that Rome wasn't built in a day.
		6. At Rachel's request, Justin gave her the microphone and then kept his fingers crossed.
		7. Kaylee had asked if she could bring some friends to the committee meeting, and Erin responded, "The more the merrier!"
		8. Joshua and Sidney told Jordan very gently that his new computer hasn't yet arrived, but he still hit the ceiling.
		9. Dr. Zahara gave me a clean bill of health.
		10. Loren decided to bite the bullet and try to get along with her new roommate.
		Step 4: Now that you have practiced identifying sentence elements, in the box below choose any proverb you like and write a paragraph using that proverb. You may use any of the proverbs mentioned in Chapter 8 (pages 142-156), or you may use a proverb of your own. Underline all subjects one time and all complete verbs two times. Cross out prepositional phrases if it helps you find the subjects and the verbs.   To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
