Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to add prepositional phrases to their stories...to add to their details and their sentence variety? |
 
Example Blurb: Brian Cleary has two books that might help students use a variety of words when using this prompt: Under, Over, by the Clover: What Is a Preposition? and Stop And Go, Yes And No: What Is an Antonym? Read both books aloud before, during, and after students are writing their opposite stories.
