Combing Sentences Revision/ Probing Question

Entering Activities: Students will get their folders, take out their personal or transactive piece and count the number of words in each sentence.
Anticipatory Set: I will explain to students that we are going to work on combing short, choppy sentences in our pieces. I will also ask them to take out their homework (reading/writing inventory) and I will check homework and sponges.
Teaching and Learning: I will go over with students Revision Station 14 – combining sentences. I will teach them how to combine short sentences with a coordinating conjunction.
Guided Practice: Students will combine some short sentence examples that I project. We will do this together as a class.
Independent Practice: Students will look through their draft and combine short sentences.
Closure: I will assign students to copy one probing question from our yellow sheet of reflective questions. I will challenge them to flashdraft for ten minutes answering this question. This will be their homework assignment.
