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?

  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.
