Predicates say, "Everything revolves around me!"

Fifth graders in Writing Workshop took center stage today as they took on the role of either a subject or a predicate. Subjects wrote a speech to an audience at an athletic banquet, and their speeches were entitled, "It's All about Me." Predicates, on the other hand, had to write a song, "Everything Revolves around Me," to sing to "Top 40" radio listeners. The students had to take on the role of their respective sentence part and create the words to their speech or song, considering their audience and their own attributes. Take a look at the video and pictures attached.
