•Teacher models by identifying sentences using overhead or document camera to display the following sentences.
 * “Jack the cat ran.” is a group of that tells a complete idea. A group of words that tells a complete idea forms a sentence.
 * A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period. “Jack the cat ran.” is a sentence, so it begins with a capital letter and has a period at the end.
 * “Jack the cat” is not a sentence because it does not tell a complete idea.
