Sentence Fluency Update

This week, my sentence fluency group worked on creating "high-five" sentences, in which they were instructed on creating sentences with nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.  Each part of speech was represented by a finger on their hands.

Many of my students are visual learners, so they were successful with this because this was a graphic organizer that would always be with them!

 

You can see from the chart that many were successful.  (The blank numbers are students not participating in the sentence fluency group).

Above is a student sample.  This student worked really hard on her sentences when applying the skills on her own. 

 

The next (and final) lesson I will be doing is from the sixth grade book, as I want to see how they respond with something higher level.
