Last week I started a new writing structure. In the past I have written a range of genres with the students each week E.G. recount, descriptive. The focus would be on finding words around the class to use in their story. Last week we focused on 1 sentence structure (I am). We read a big book that used the structure and wrote that same sentence structure every day. On Thursday I let the students come up with their own sentence. This worked wonderfully. The students were offering up sentences each day and even expanding on them. The students were confident with the sentence structure and all but one of my students wrote their own sentence on Thursday morning. The student who didn't has special learning needs and was able to orally say a correct simple sentence, which is great for her!
We have begun our new sentence structure this week which is building on from what they already know, the word I. This week we are writing I can sentences.
