Description
Sentence Expansion Game – DIGITAL VERSION!
Expanding sentences is a key skill students need to master to extend their individual sentence writing skills. We want students to transition from writing simple sentences toward more complex, detailed sentences. But, they won’t get there unless we explicitly teach them what we are looking for. And why not turn it into a game?
This interactive, digital resource targets an important writing skill: working on expanding sentences. This product includes slides to explicitly teach students how to expand sentences prior to gameplay. Our digital sentence expansion writing game is completely interactive, making it the perfect resource for virtual tutoring or to play as a class on your projector/smartboard.
This resource is for you if you are in need of a product that provides students with critical practice in the skill of expanding sentences.
This resource includes:
- Teaching slide for pre-teaching/review prior to gameplay
- Student-friendly directions
- Interactive, clickable board game with workable spinner and moveable game pieces
