Paperback Description
Examine several writing rubrics and you'll notice that most contain the category Sentence Variety. Sensational Sentences will help students achieve the knowledge, skills and confidence to include a variety of well-written, interesting sentences in their own writing. These activities can complement any writing program as well as serve as a primary source for classroom editing activities.
Included are teacher pages and student reproducibles for: subject-verb sentences; verb-subject sentences; compound sentences using conjunctions; vivacious verbs; audacious adjectives; agile adverbs; sentences containing gerunds, infinitives, prepositions, adjective and adverb clauses, similies, metaphors and much, much more. In addition the student pages provide topic areas to help diminish the I don't know what to write about syndrome!
Practically speaking, the origin of good paragraphs, reports, narratives, short stories, and many other types of writing is the well-written sentence. Sensational Sentences can help students improve everything they write by improving their word choice, sentence structure and sentence variety. |
