Description
Students struggling with writing strong sentences? Strong sentences is a simple way to help students write effective sentences in middle school by focusing on verbs and prepositional phrases. A presentation is provided to use with the whole class or as a resource in your online learning platform. The presentation covers ‘be’ verbs and adverb/verb phrases and a chance for students to edit writing on the spot. Cheat sheet notes are included and can be used with the presentation or as a handout reference sheet to keep in student notebooks or binders. The cheat sheet is a great reference to use throughout the year. Practice sentences are provided as an opportunity for students to practice writing strong sentences. An interactive/fillable Google Slide version of the notes and practice sheet is included.
