Building Sentences and Sentence Writing

WRITING SENTENCES

We started our writing unit by learning how to create

SUPER SENTENCES!

First we learned how to distinguish between sentences and sentence fragments.

Then we moved on to capitalization.

They had to highlight the letters that should be capitalized, and then rewrite the sentence the proper way. 

Using highlighters to show the mistakes in the sentences was a HUGE motivator!

Then it was time to talk about punctuation.

Periods, exclamation marks, question marks, quotation marks...oh my!

We learned that sentences are MUCH more interesting when they include adjectives.

Then it was time to choose some character cards, to use as the subjects of their sentences...

 ...and to select some action cards to create interesting sentences using verbs.

Next up, some time to practice writing STRONG sentences!

The checklist at the bottom of the page helped students double-check their work.

This craftivity makes a SUPER bulletin board display to showcase student learning!
