Guided Lesson Steps
Step 1 Brainstorming
• Copy the Super Sentence Organizer onto the
board or use the transparency
• Write the sentence starter in the organizer
• Read the sentence to your students, pointing to
each word Explain that they are going to think
of ways to make this simple sentence a “super
sentence” by adding more words
• Go through each sentence part, asking students
for appropriate words Use the correct terms for
parts of speech (adjective, noun, verb, etc.) if
appropriate for your students’ level(s)
• Write students’ suggestions for each column on
the board or transparency In the beginning, you
may wish to complete only one column, such as
describing words
Step 2 Oral Sentences
• As you complete each column, allow time for students to give sentences orally using the words in the list
For example, after completing the “describing words” list about pigs, students might say:
A hungry pig ate.
A chubby pig ate.
After completing the “did what” list, students might say:
A hungry pig gobbled its food.
A chubby pig scratched behind its ear.
• Continue creating oral sentences until eachsection has been covered
Step 3 Sentence Writing
Reproduce the student writing form for the lesson
or give students writing paper Remind them to use
a word or phrase from each column on the chart to
create a fi nal sentence Based on skill level, students
