I will teach students how to write detailed sentences so that the reader can create a mental picture of the text and a clear understanding. I will use digital charts and practice forms during our class time. I will model using the 5 Ws & H (who, what, where, why, when, and how) to demonstrate writing detailed sentences by adding adjectives and adverbs. Students will learn how to write descriptively using the guided practice forms together in class. Students can choose their favorite sentences to share aloud at the end of our class period.
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate knowledge of writing detailed sentences by expanding simple sentences with adjectives and adverbs to convey precise meaning.

External Resources

I will use several digital anchor and practice charts during our class time.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, my name is Kathleen Bernath Jenkins and I am a recently retired elementary public school teacher in Missouri. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in differentiated instructional methods. Most recently, I have taught fourth-grade students the core academic skills: reading, grammar, writing, math, science, and social studies.
I have a passion for teaching children the skills needed for them to be successful citizens. I believe all children can achieve success at school by differentiating instructional methods, which allows for individual growth and expression. My approach to teaching is to focus on best practices, those proven to be successful across all educational settings: teacher modeling and interaction with students, setting clear objectives at the start of each lesson, encouraging group participation, and debriefing together at the close of a lesson.
Besides my love of teaching, I also have a greenhouse and enjoy growing and propagating plants, especially tropical and rare varieties!Reviews
