How’s your summer starting out? I’m retiring on 1 August. Enough said.
In the meantime, here is fourth lesson plan of the Introduction to Writing Sentences Unit, this one on writing the simple sentence. This lesson opens, in a rare feat of alignment at Mark’s Text Terminal, with this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the simple sentence; this is half-page worksheet with a one-sentence reading and three comprehension questions. A solid introduction to this sentence structure, with students called upon to write a simple sentence of their own using a mentor text as a model.
And here is the scaffolded worksheet that is the centerpiece of this lesson; it asks students to try their own hands at composing simple sentences as a process for developing their own understanding of this form.
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.
