Grammar 2 – Sentence Writing
Grammar Sheet 2 Writing M aster (Coloured pencils)
Aim: Develop the children’s understanding of what a sentence is. At this stage, they know that a sentence must make sense and that it must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop (or question mark).
Introduction: Revise sentences. Ask the children to say the three things they have learnt about sentences. Write some incorrect sentences on the board and correct them with the children. Examples:
the girl played tennis. Mum took us to the. It is too late to go out
Main point: Look at the picture on the sheet. Go around the class, asking each child for a sentence about the picture. Make sure that the children give only one sentence each. They should not string several sentences together with the words ‘and then’.
Grammar Sheet 2: The children look at the picture on the sheet. They write as many sentences about it as they can. The Writing Master on page 176 may be photocopied onto the back of the grammar sheets for the children to write on.
Extension activity: The children read what they have written and make sure that it is correct. They should correct any mistakes they have made. They can do this in a different colour if preferred. Rounding off: Go over the sheet with the class. Ask some children to share one of their sentences with the rest of the class.
