This week’s Text offers the seventh lesson plan in the Styling Sentences unit (and as I look at these lessons, one after another, as I post them, I am once again skeptical of their worth, as I was before I undertook a major revision and expansion of this unit during the COVID pandemic), this one, as heralded above, on a sentence form with an emphatic appositive at the end, after a colon.
This lesson opens with this worksheet on parsing sentences for nouns. The primary work of this lesson is this worksheet with explanatory and mentor texts. I want to point out, again, that this worksheet contains no sentence stems or cloze exercises, or really any kind of supportive apparatus. There are mentor texts for students to emulate. I think I could write some supported material for this worksheet, but I don’t know how useful it would be.
But what do you think?
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
