Discovering sentences

Submitted by Jennifer Baines on 11 July 2006.

Another amazing PowerPoint from Jennifer Baines.

Something here for all levels: information, examples and onscreen activities cover a host of topics inc: simple, compound and complex sentences; punctuation; question words; coordinating and subordinating conjunctions; formal letter writing; topic and concluding sentences; a handy ‘Is it a sentence?’ checklist, structuring an argument, linking paragraphs.

Also great for teacher reference.

Discovering Sentences

What a fantastic resource. Is usable from Entry 1 to Level 2.
Excellent for encouraging grammatical, but also interesting writing. I wish I had discovered it before.
