    Well said jayjayd.
    One of the the pitfalls of slideshare.net is that my slideshows depend on me being in the room. I use slideshare to distribute slides in lieu of handouts.

    That being said; here’s the answer:
    I instruct the kids to do a 'three word sentence' (which of course is not really enough words for much of a sentence). I’m not really looking for a proper sentence. I tell them to think Tarzan or Frankenstein. The idea is to help them identify a subject and predicate, so that later, in more complicated sentences they are able to ignore any additional words that complicate the issue.

    Bottom line, it’s just a phase. Which doesn’t playout well in the 'still' version without me.

    Hope that helps.

    Did you like it otherwise? I can tell you this technique has helped me raise class after class by one to two stanines.

    ’boys in trouble’ is not a sentence

Teaching English Mastery with Imagery - Presentation Transcript

  1. Teaching English Mastery Using Imagery CTAP7.org
  2. Why is it every Fall, teachers teach nouns...
  3. and it seems like a totally new thing for kids?
  4. Most kids know that adjective or adverb means “modify” -
  5. BUT can they apply* this knowledge? *Write an adverb in a sentence?
  6. What does modify MEAN? I’ve literally waved a $20 bill around in class, but still can’t get a real world answer from kids
  7. Here’s the problem: Everyone is following the book too closely
  8. Here’s the problem: All our textbooks are built on a “spiral up” model of learning
