The class follows the following format:
🤔Step 1: Brainstorming
Learners start with a simple sentence then brainstorm ideas for adding who, what, where, and when words and phrases, as well as describing words (adjectives and adverbs.)

🗣️Step 2: Oral Sentences
As learners add more details to their sentences, they practice reading their new super sentences aloud. While trying out different combinations of descriptive words and phrases, learners become actively involved in the writing process and gain a better understanding of the parts of a sentence.

✏️Step 3: Sentence Writing
Now that they're full of ideas, learners can begin to write their own sentences. Writing forms with fun illustrations motivate learners to form super sentences. They can piece together the words and phrases from the brainstorming activity, or come up with words and phrases of their own.

✔️Step 4: Proof and Correct
Learners are encouraged to self-edit by reading their work aloud.
