Practice writing sentences.Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Let's grow our sentences as we grow our English vocabulary. Students will practice the popular sentence writing model of starting with a simple sentence and expanding the sentence by answering the basic 5W &1H questions (who, what, when, where, why and how). Each week, we will focus on one question word that will help us make a longer sentence. Students will receive a vocabulary list, so they can expand their vocabulary. Student can use the list to pick stronger words to write better descriptive sentences. **This class is NOT for beginners. Students need to know basic English vocabulary words . ***This class is NOT for new students new to handwriting. Students will need to write words at a medium-to-fast speed in order to answer all the questions. ** This class is for writing. Students must write sentences in the class during the class time. I have other classes for only speaking. ** Students need to write neatly with a dark pencil/pen or type in the chat box. I will take a screen shots of the written sentences, so students must write in a clear manner and with dark letters. ** Class Agenda: 1. Topic Intro 2. Vocabulary review 3.
