This week’s Text, you won’t be surprised to see or hear if you follow this blog, is the tenth lesson plan of the Styling Sentences Unit, this one on paired constructions.
I begin this lesson with this worksheet on parsing sentences for nouns. The centerpiece of this lesson is this worksheet with explanatory and mentor texts. Once again, I want to note that this document does not include any supported work in the way of sentence stems or cloze exercises. This particular sentence structure lends itself to that kind of support, and when next I use this material (if ever), I may well end up developing this work further in that direction.
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.
