Part Two
Directions: The following paragraph has one sentence that does not belong. Please read this paragraph carefully, and copy only that one sentence that does not belong into your notebook. Then follow Direction #2 in bold print below!

     It was an unbelievable snowstorm. Snow was falling so quickly that it was sticking to my car windows again--and I had just cleaned them! I found myself shoveling my front steps over and over until I finally decided to stop for a while. My neighbor waved at me from across the street. I knew that it didn't make sense to continue removing snow until the storm was over, but I had certainly tried my best. I hope the snowfall ends soon because another ten inches are forecast for tomorrow morning!

​Direction #2: After you have decided which sentence does not fit, write a new sentence that makes more sense!!


Part Three

1. Sandy got a good grade on her test.
2. Juan was able to buy the car he had always wanted.
3. Tim graduated from SCALE.
4. Angelina was suddenly a millionaire.
