A great resource to encourage pupils to think about and vary their sentences. The grid has a selection of both sentence starts and sentence types. The pupils use the grid to ensure that their writing is varied and interesting. By ticking the boxes, the children can assess their own writing and consider future sentences. In time, the children should vary their sentences automatically. I would recommend using the grid as a means of focusing the children ahead of a piece of writing. With the pupils, we highlighted the boxes that should be ticked when writing a particular genre. The grid can also be used to analyse texts or for self/peer assessment.
