This sample features the first two chapters of Don and Jenny Killgallon’s Getting Starting With Middle School Sentence Composing: A Student Worktext.
These chapters give:
- a brief overview of sentence composing
- an introduction to sentence composing tools
- a handful of examples and activities to stretch those sentence composing muscles
In Getting Started with Middle School Sentence Composing, students learn how to write sentences by imitating the sentences of authors. It is at the sentence level that mentor texts and imitating are most productive.
