Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: Story Starting Participles

Curated by ACT

In this lesson, Roni Schotter's picture book entitled The Boy Who Loved Words is used as the mentor text. This Language Arts Common Core Standards-aligned lesson pre-writing task engages learners in writing a collection of ideas of story starters that begin with participial phrases. Students will use these story starters at a later time for development, and during the later drafting, learners should be re-directed to the use of participles and correct punctuation from this story-starting lesson's product. An interactive button is included on the lesson to help inspire creativity with the use of participles in sentences. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
