Lesson 18: The Adjective Cluster

Yes, we really do need more examples of Adjective Clusters. It's sometimes hard for students (and authors, I guess) to get the hang of them, but again, they happen outside the main clause, where they have the freedom to elaborate upon the nucleus in a fashion they simply could not achieve in the main clause. What grade level would this be best for? When is it time to drop all those one-word adjectives that are stuffed into the main clause, in favor of the flow and imagery of the lower levels? Th

Lesson 4—Present Participial Phrase

Now that we have learned how to place the free modifiers after, before, and within the main clause, we move to the most common free modifier, the present participle. Students will learn where to place it in the sentence, and how to get the most out of its usefulness. See how many they can put in one sentence (see the Harper Lee example!) and have them pick up any book in the library and time themselves how long it takes to find one. They can then submit their findings to the whole class, and hav

Lesson 9: Past Participial Phrase

The past participial phrase is not as frequent as its predecessor, referring, as its name implies, to the past rather than the present. But it has strength and purpose, and its relationship with the rest of the sentence is often vital to the action in a novel or the reasoning in an essay.It's a fun challenge to the students to find ways to put past participial phrases in their writing. Thinking in terms of the Levels is often a useful approach. Also, sentences that are built upon phrases contain

Lessons 2-3: Free Modifiers Before and Within

So, now we have seen free modifiers doing their thing—making the writing more detailed, flowing, and satisfying. I hope you are thinking about how you can apply these lessons to the books that you teach. It is far more appealing when the students are alert as they read, and pretend it's a treasure hunt for new features that they can add to their next writing assignment.After having studied Lessons 1-3, which were touched on in the "Free Product" offer, the students are asked to write out the le

Lessons 19-20: The Adjective Clause

Lesson 19 covers the adjective clause when applied to humans (who, whose, whom), and Lesson 20 presents the adjective clause for non-humans (which, that).There are many topics that pop up, such as when to use them, how to use them, and where to put them, but you'll find it all covered here. One interesting classroom technique appears with Exercise A. It involves merging two sentences by turning one of them into an adjective clause. What is to be removed? What replaces it? Where should you put it

Lesson 25: Seldom Free

Our last batch of Free Modifiers consists of the infinitive phrase, the adverb, and the prepositional phrase. We see them all the time, but mostly as bound modifiers in the Level 1.But they do occasionally get free. That opening infinitive sequence, from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, exhibits wonderful charm and vividness, delightful for the child or adult.The gracefulness of movement, with an adverbial arrangement that builds with flowing grace, displays Hemingway at his astute best.And the obse

Fun and engaging writing activities to try

Here are a few ideas for writing activities — from our teacher-created resources — that you can find on TPT and that are designed to teach students how to write effectively. (Pro tip: These worksheets serve as an excellent complement to our reading materials.)

Journaling

Encourage students to keep daily journals where they can freely express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This practice helps them develop their writing style and build the habit of writing regularly.

Writing Prompts

Provide engaging prompts that encourage imaginative storytelling. For instance, you could ask students to write about a world without the internet, or ask them to describe something only using one of their five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste).

Peer Editing

Have students exchange their written work with a peer for feedback. This helps them strengthen their ability to identify and correct mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and spelling; give constructive criticism; and revise their writing based on feedback.

Sentence and Paragraph Construction

Provide sentence and paragraph building exercises to help students understand the basic structure of writing and how to organize their ideas coherently.

Letter Writing

Ask students to write letters to real or fictional recipients. They could compose formal letters, persuasive letters on specific topics, thank-you notes, or postcards.

Blogging

Create a classroom blog where students can publish their writing for a wider audience. This teaches them to write for a purpose and consider their audience's perspective.

Research Papers

Guide students through the process of researching and writing informative or argumentative essays. Teach them how to construct persuasive arguments and counterarguments on various topics, include evidence, and cite sources.

Poetry Writing

Explore different forms of poetry, such as haikus, sonnets, and free verse. Encourage students to experiment with imagery, rhythm, and metaphor.

By incorporating these (and other!) writing activities into your lesson plans, you can nurture a love for writing.
