Group+3+Sentence+Imitating

//"Rob and Duplicate"// Students will rob sentences from "good" writers and will copy the structure for their own use. They will use their own words to craft their own sentences. The key is to learn the structure and apply it to original sentences.
 * Definition:**

Model- He turned his back, his back to the distant fire, and peered into the dark. //Anne Rice//
 * Example:**

//Scrambled sentence parts:// A. her fingers drumming on the table B. She waited C. and then paced around the room

//Unscrambled:// She waited, her fingers drumming on the table, and then paced around the room.

"Bellwork"- have students unscramble certain sentences and then have them create a narrative based off the scrambled sentence.
 * Application:**

Note: Many of us do not really understand this process and were not taught this. We are not sure if this is something that we can really teach- many of us write what sounds good (or at least that's what we were taught).
