is a fantastic,
downloadable,
printable teacher resource
for just $3.97
that makes it so easy to see:
1)The preliminary skills for children to gain prior to writing sentences.
2) How to break down creative sentence construction using a blackboard and a teacher who always begins with the verb.
With this consistent teaching strategy, children can gain the solid skills — by the end of 4th grade — to construct good, consistent, detailed sentencesthat use expressive modifiers and answer important questions like: Who? What? Where? When? What kind? How?
Gaining the skill to write sentences doesn’t happen overnight. It is not a skill that children naturally acquire as they grow older. Rather, learning to write good, creative sentences is a skill that is learned layer upon layer.
Learning to write great sentences is really a simple skill to acquire if it’s a) taught in a fun, creative way, b) given within the framework of a step-by-step plan of action that involves student or group participation, and c) presented consistently with a blackboard and a teacher who always begins with the verb.
Yet, today, we have so many children who cannot construct a simple sentence let alone write an interesting sentence. Oh, yes, we’ve given our students worksheet after worksheet where they’ve been required to locate the verb and/or the subject, where they’ve been required to complete the sentence or to sequence a list of sentences. We’ve given them story starters and asked them to write their own stories. However, many of us have missed the boat in teaching them exactly how to create a good, solid, creative, descriptive sentence. Sadly, this is why so many of our students still cannot construct a good, interesting, readable sentence by the time they enter their first rhetoric class in college.
Teaching Children to Write Creative Sentences demonstrates a method that if presented consistently by an excited, fun-loving teacher, will teach kids to easily compose good, creative, descriptive, easy-to-read sentences.
Check it out.
