Have you been itchin' to build better writers in your class this year? The WOW vs. BLAH Sentence Packet starts with the basics of good writing - drafting quality detailed sentences. What makes this approach different you say?? Well, WOW vs. BLAH presents this material in an "out of the box" way that "hooks" kids from the get go. By showing the kids the differences between WOW and BLAH sentences in a silly way, kids tend to grasp and apply the concept more successfully. This material is perfect for 1st and 2nd grades and could work well in many 3rd grade classrooms as well.
Packet Includes:
-WOW vs. BLAH Overview
-WOW vs. BLAH Movements
-WOW vs. BLAH Signs
-Creating Detailed Sentences (5 versions)
-Sentence Sort Center Activity
-Hunting Down WOW Words (3 versions)
-WOW vs. BLAH Student-Created Bulletin Board + Writing Templates (24 versions + blank) . . . this is one of my favorite activities all year long!
**Note: All templates include dotted line and regular lined versions to better meet your specific classroom and grade level needs.

I have spent quite a long time teaching my firsties how to write a sentence telling who, what, where and when. It will be great to use this resource as an assessment now. I will use it from day 1 in the fall to teach sentence writing skills. Thanks for all your effort creating this pack!

We have been working on describing words for a couple weeks, but only about half my kiddos are using them. This seems like a wonderful way to get the rest to join in. Thank you!

Hi Kelley,
I just purchased and downloaded your Wow vs. Blah Sentence Unit - I love it, but I was wondering if you could send it to me in a version that I could edit. I would like to make it name specific to my students and teachers here at my school?
My email is lmcatee@wyckoffschools.org.
Thank you for considering my request!

I am so sorry it's not working for you :( Everyone who has purchased this product from me thus far hasn't had a problem so it might be your computer or server that doesn't like it. But, we can work around this. I can email a copy of the unit to you and you can try it this way. If that doesn't work, I can send those pages in individual files. Email me and I will take care of you! kelleydolling@gmail.com
