Variation on the Simple Sentence - Start or finish with a detail - Power up you writing skills

This material is a successful lesson or two. I have delivered it many times, and students enjoy how knowing and understanding the possibilities, their writings show much improvement.

At several levels, you may teach with this about different ways you can start a sentence, and also the idea of transitions are introduced to use them as sophisticated link to a previous thought.

When it comes to the transitions at the end, I usually make students make cards of different shapes of their favourites for each logic.

I have also included a bonus material - a reference notes for students that shows the different sentence varieties in a system. Use them, give it to your students, make them use them - and it will make a change for them for the better.
