(R515) Think, Then Write: Sentence Writing Bootcamp

Description

Many programs teach students how to write different text types, like narratives, recounts and procedures. But all texts – regardless of their length and difficulty level – are composed of sentences. In our experience, many students (even in high school) lack the ability to link their ideas together and to express sophisticated thoughts and feelings in complex sentences.

This no-prep workbook is recommended for practice between Workbook 3 (complex sentences) and Workbook 4 (paragraphs) of our Think then Write Program.

It’s a sentence writing bootcamp, designed to help students to express themselves more clearly, in order for them to share their ideas more easily.

The bootcamp workbook includes model answers, and exercises for students to practice their sentences:

• • using specific and interesting verbs;
  • using specific nouns;
  • using specific place and time details; and
  • explaining and using why and how the event or action happened.

Available as a PDF.
