What Makes a Good Sentence
Activity #1 (let's say 45 minutes to an hour)
Actively read the article, “What Makes a Good Sentence?”
Pull out from the article 7-9 suggestions for writing good sentences
Make a poster using only text from the article
The poster must include several images that enhance the meaning of the text
Give your poster an original title.
Attribute the article you used in your poster
Share your poster with the class. (If you are feeling brave, tape yourself presenting your poster. Just please be sure everything on the poster can be read by the audience)
Activity #2 Create a Worksheet (20 minutes)
I would like each of you to create a worksheet for me with at least five of your sentences that you think need attention. I am not strictly looking for issues in grammar although that may be an issue you want me to look at. I am looking for sentences which you are not sure have the energy, the dynamism, the impact you would like. Sentences you have questions about. Remember, you are making the worksheet for me to do. Copy and paste your five sentences into your worksheet and include them in the google doc you created for class.
Your Worksheet should include a set of instructions that tells me what to do.
