Today's journal is as follows:

Journal #3

What fear(s) do you have? How do they affect you?

Think of an invention or a strategy or something you could do that would help alleviate your fear(s).
 
Sentence Structure!

We need to start every sentence with a capital. Every time!

Every sentence needs to end with the proper punctuation as well.

If you refer to yourself, you need a capital “I” - never “i”

Any proper name of a person or place also begins with a capital. eg Mr. Lobb, Toronto, Canada, not Mr. lobb, toronto and canada

Every sentence needs to have a subject and predicate. It sounds complex, but it’s not.

The subject is the person, place or thing that is DOING SOMETHING.

The predicate is the verb phrase or ACTION THAT IS BEING DONE.

eg. The cat walked down the road. (bolded = subject)

Can you say “The cat walked down the road, he was awesome.”

NO! This is TWO SEPARATE IDEAS and should be two separate sentences.

A conjunction could join two separate ideas together into one sentence

As above - The cat walked down the road BECAUSE he was awesome.
