Welcome to "Mastering Sentence Writing Part 2," another course designed to improve your learner's sentence writing ability. We will focus on creating longer sentences: compound and complex sentences. We also concentrate on descriptive and narrative sentences. Both descriptive and narrative sentences are essential tools for writers. They enrich the writing by adding depth, clarity, and engagement, ultimately making the content more effective and enjoyable for the reader. A typical class will follow this structure: 1. Warm Up -3 minutes 2. Lesson Introduction - 2 minutes 3. Direct Instruction with Active Class Participation - 10 minutes 4. Guided Practice - 10 minutes 5. Independent Writing Practice - 15 minutes 6. Review/Exit Activity - 5 minutes I look forward to having your learner in my course!
Learning Goals
