• A teacher/peer and student writing checklist to work on between the draft and good copy.

• An explanation to give students on the different categories of sentences.

• Writing sentence activities, at least two pages per kind and most have a box where children can connect their knowledge with a picture that they draw.

• Different worksheets to have students practise each sentence.

• Because sentences are made up of a group of words, it is important for the students/the writer to understand the function of each word. Included in this book, you will find a page for each part of speech.

• A lesson plan for each of the six writing styles with questions to ask students and a model of what should be: nouns, proper nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. It is suggested that each sheet be photocopied and given to each student. Students then can continue their list with words that have meaning to them. Words with meanings and connections will be used more often than those without.

• It is recommended to make photocopies of the Parts of Speech as a personal dictionary.

• The Sentence Creator cards can be photocopied and lamination is recommended for durability. Each child can then have access to the Sentence Creator during Writing Workshop or as an extra individual activity.
