 This multi-session activity uses students’ speaking vocabularies to help them
learn about complete sentences. Students first participate in a whole-group
activity to create lists of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. They then write selected
words on color-coded index cards. They work with the word cards to learn the
essential criteria for complete sentences. Using this criteria, they collaborate in
groups to create, write, and share complete, descriptive sentences. Finally, they
use additional descriptive words and phrases to create complex complete
sentences, which are written on adding machine tape, illustrated, and shared
with the class. http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lessonplans/sentence-quest-using-parts-6.html?tab=1#tabs
