Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: Action Packed Rain Forest Sentences

Curated by ACT

For this lesson, Jane Yolen's Welcome to the Greenhouse is used as a mentor text. Students will record their favorite verbs from the mentor text, rank them according to their favorite, and share them. Students will also use interactive buttons to generate animal or creature, verb, object, and prepositional phrase combinations that they enjoy most. Then students must use this newly generated sentence and "hide it" in the context of a previously-written longer piece. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
