Sentence frame: Sentence strips

Sorry it is not what you expected.<br /> The idea is that the children use the colour-coded strips to create their own sentences using word banks you have created in your class.<br /> For example - character names, pronouns etc would be under the pink list; verbs and adverbs would be under the yellow list; adjectives under the green list; nouns under the orange list; time words under the brown list. Children can choose words from the same coloured word bank lists. More able children can create their own lists, less able can use a prepared list you give them. You could always put the word bank on Clicker if you have the programme. The sentence strips shows them how to create the sentence i.e. the very first one: pink - yellow- green- blue would translate to:-<br /> pink yellow green orange.<br /> The dog was running down the dusty road. <br /> This can then be expanded on by adding a brown card and more green cards i.e.<br /> Green+Brown Green+Pink Green+yellow green+blue<br /> One sunny morning the old dog slowly jogged down the dusty road.<br /> By putting a purple 'why' block on the end of the strip will encourage them to add a 'because' and to finish the sentence - even using more colour blocks. The emphasis is on the children creating their sentences using their own vocabulary plus any word bank vocabulary you choose to support them with. Hope this explains it more. The idea was to make it as adaptable as possible. By creating actual sentence cards would limit the children's imagination.
