As part of our writing program, every week (or so) each student practices writing an error-free sentence. Because having an innate sense of sentence structure is a foundation of writing, student-created sentences must meet all the standards for a complete sentence: they must be a complete thought, have a subject and predicate, utilize proper punctuation and spelling, and be on-topic. In most weeks, the sentence must also utilize a given construction. Students practice on Monday through Wednesday, receiving daily feedback from the class, and then get tested on Thursday. What appears below under “comments” or “replies’ is the collection of sentences from our first test. The subjects were hot air balloons, One Direction, and microscopes.
