In My Classroom:
I used the hands-on activity with my 4th and 5th graders as test prep for next week's end of year state test. All 30 Students were paired up and given one sentence starter. The phrases the students needed in order to complete their sentences were placed in plastic eggs (1 phrase per egg) and scattered around our classroom. Students searched for the eggs that held the phrases they needed to complete their sentences. This part was surprisingly a little tricky for my kids. Some kids got so dang excited about building sentences but totally forgot to read the sentences to make sure they made sense. To alleviate this issue, you might want to place all 3 phrases in the same plastic egg. The activity took a bit of time due to all of the revisions we needed to make before every team found and built their correct sentence. At the end of the lesson, I created 4 new sentences for the kids to complete, so that I could be sure they understood the concept fully. ***NOTE: Completing this hands-on activity in a guided small group would allow the students a bit more flexibility with their sentences, since some of the phrases can fit in more than one sentence.
