Daily Sentence Structures: 15 minutes a day towards better writing by Alec Lees
Description
By the end of primary school pupils are expected to be able to write using varied sentence structures. This practical guide provides a straightforward way of teaching pupils to use a range of sentence structures in their own writing, whatever their ability.
The sentence structures taught vary from short, dramatic sentences to complex, compound sentences. Each has been broken down into a series of 15-minute sessions that build on each other. By completing the daily sessions, pupils will have at their fingertips a system for creating imaginative and interesting writing in as little as six weeks.
The Daily Sentence Structures approach raises attainment across all abilities and covers many of the writing requirements of the 2014 National Curriculum:
Use grammatical structures
Make meaning clear and create effect
Use a range of sentence starters to create specific effects
Use commas to mark phrases and clauses
Sustain and develop ideas logically
Vary sentence structures
Use semi-colons and dashes
Furthermore, the systematic approach appeals especially to boys, who will enjoy applying the logic to their writing and being able to create instant paragraphs. All pupils' confidence and self-esteem will increase, leading to better results across all subjects.
