Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
In this four session course, students will practice creating unique sentences while correctly punctuating according to the shared sentence patterns. A picture will be provided each week for students to write about. The teacher will share expectations of various sentence patterns as well as examples for students to see correct models of the type of sentences they will create.  Students will be encouraged to share created sentences in the chat box. A basic understanding of subjects and predicates prior to taking this course is helpful to success in this course. The method used has worked well with both students who enjoy writing and those who struggle.  
Session one: Writing compound and complex sentences correctly. 
Session two Writing introductory sentence elements: absolutes and participial phrases
Session three: Writing with appositives
Session four: Review and additional practice of weeks one through three
Learning Goals
Students will master sophisticated sentence structure and apply to their own writing.

My years of teaching language arts and serving as an instructional specialist and coach allowed me the opportunity to create and implement lessons that engaged students and allowed them to succeed. Studying Image Grammar by Harry Noden and Mechanically Inclined by Jeff Anderson influenced my thinking as I developed this lesson.
