Description

This sentence structure activity will help your students with sentence building by practicing variety and complexity. These slides teach simple, compound, and complex sentences. Students will also learn about sentence variety through Gary Provost's brilliant paragraph: "This Sentence Has Five Words."

If you have not taught Gary Provost's paragraph, you are in for a treat! I've had students say, "Ohhh! This makes sense now!" It's the WHY behind the need for variety, and students will never forget it.

Through guided practice, students see definitions and examples, then they practice the skill with scaffolding. Finally, they create their own sentences and search for real-world examples in novels and texts.

Their writing will improve immediately! Print some of the slides to post on your walls as a reminder throughout the year.

How this Helps You:

✭These are complete lessons from hook to introduction to "gradual release"

✭You will no longer need to hunt for examples and graphics to pull together a lesson. Huge timesaver!
