Description

Do your students need to add more detail to their sentences? You can have your students writing more complex sentences using this sentence stretching activity for Google Slides! Students are able to drop and drag the words or phrases to expand on a simple sentence. They are also able to read a simple sentence and then type up their own improved sentence! Different versions are included for Seesaw and Google Slides!

★★Please click on the preview above to have a closer look at what's included!★★

How to Use:

SEESAW/GOOGLE SLIDES:

Students read the simple sentence (in grey). They then drag and drop 2 adjectives (pink) and 1 adverbial/adjectival phrase (aqua) onto the correct spot, to ‘stretch’ their sentence. Students can then have a go at stretching a sentence themselves by typing on the following page.

What's included:

★ 10 'drag and drop' style slides

★ 10 'add text' style slides

★ Versions for Seesaw (10 activities with one of each type of slide) and Google Slides

★ Text ready to copy and paste into the instructions section on a Seesaw activity

★ Instructions for use pages

This resource is perfect for:

Teacher instruction

Individual student work

Distance Learning

What others are saying:

★★★★★

Loved how some slides provide support while other slides allow for more independence for students can write detailed sentences.

I can't tell you how helpful this resource was with my struggling writers. Even when non-ESOL students write, they forget to think about or don't want to think at all the things a sentence needs. Thanks so much!

I used this at the beginning of the year to teach my class what a good 2nd grade sentence looks like. This resource helped a ton with our sentence building and stretching them out to include more details!
