Description

Do your students have trouble writing interesting sentences? If so, use these fall-themed task cards to teach them how to improve their writing. Students can expand these basic kernel sentences by adding details to provide more information about who, what, when, where, why, or how the activity took place.

One set of sentences deals with signs of fall in nature, and the other includes sentences about Thanksgiving. Both sets are available in color as well as black and white.

Check out Sentence Go Round!

These starter sentences were originally designed to be used with the lessons in Sentence Go Round, a resource that includes step-by-step directions for an interactive and fun lesson for teaching kids how to write more creative and interesting sentences. You can also find the directions for this activity in my blog article Teaching Kids to Write Super Sentences.

I had each student pick three sentences to expand. Students loved being able to make their own choices. After expanding the sentences, some students went above and turned them into a story.
