Encourage developed sentences in creative writing with this fall/autumn themed worksheet. Using the prompts (what, who, where, when, how, and why) your students start with a single detail and build it into a fully developed, image-filled sentence.
One sentence-building process is modelled for your students, then two prompts are provided, and finally there are three empty spaces for students to create their own idea from scratch.
This worksheet is in graphic organizer format, comes in 2 black and white styles and 2 color styles, and all of these come in both US letter and UK A4 document sizes with appropriate spellings and terminology on each.
This abstract and concrete noun sorting activity is designed to prompt discussion as well as stretch learners and consolidate skills. Attractive flashcards come in three designs, and I have also included PNGs of image-only flashcards for you to add an extra layer of discussion, or to differentiate for your gifted and talented learners.
The text on each flashcard is fully editable for you to adapt the font or change the language, making this set of cards a bilingual resource too!
