An independent clause has a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. To test if a clause is independent, see if it makes sense on its own. "Ali and Maggie play soccer" is a full sentence, so it is an independent clause. "I play tennis" is also a full sentence and an independent clause.
According to a different source, this unit includes the stories "I Want to be Miss America" by J.ulia Alvarez and "About Russell" by Rita Williams-Garcia.
<u>"I Want to Be Miss America" by Ju.lia Alvarez:</u> Be happy with who you are.
In this story, the sisters are unhappy with the way they look, as they do not look like the models they see in beauty pageants. As they get older, even when the sisters are called beautiful, their self-esteem remains damaged. This shows the importance of accepting who you are.
<u>"About Russell" by Rita Williams-Garcia:</u> Illnesses affect people, but does not change who they are inside.
