Hammer Throw

Remember Miss Trunchbull from Matilda?  Well, she was a hammer thrower.  She picked up a stone attached to a long, solid bamboo pole and heaved it for distance...and then when she became principle of Matilda's school, she did the same to a small girl with amazingly strong pigtails.  Hammer throwers in the Scottish Highland Games sometimes wear special shoes to keep in the proper position for heaving the hammer.

Your Hammer Throw:  Show how amazing your own positioning is when it comes to composing sentences with strong subject/verb agreement.  Use the worksheet passed out in class to help you create structurally sound sentences.
