Getting Started with High School Sentence Composing by Donald Killgallon
Sentence composing provides acrobatic training in sentence dexterity.using literature as a writing school with a faculty of professional writers who virtually teach students to build better sentences.
-Don and Jenny Killgallon
Getting Started with High School Sentence Composing introduces the powerful sentence-composing approach. Using real sentences by authors as models, it provides practice with five sentence parts, or tools, that research shows skilled writers use to create high-quality, variety-packed writing:
- Extenders to enlarge meaning within a sentence
- Identifiers to identify someone or something
- Describers to describe someone or something
- Elaborators to add details for full understanding
- Combos to combine tools within a sentence
Along the way, Don and Jenny Killgallon provide help for students, including:
- Basic sentence ideas-Activities to understand subjects, predicates, and their relationship to those five tools
- Broken sentences-Exercises to identify, avoid, and repair fragments
- Vocabulary scaffolds-Quickshots to include an immediate, clear definition in context for challenging words.
