We offer a strategy to teachers and parents to assist students with writing. All text books available seem to show the author's lack of ability to teach students to write in complex sentences.
Parts of speech are made available as well as tenses. This report suggests a tried and true strategy to give teachers and students a systematic approach to mastering complex sentences.
But no effort is made to teach students to write polished complex sentences. It seems to be a skill only mastered by the more clever students who read books.
But writing skill can be developed by Mastery Learning from earlier grades in primary school.
Writing in complex sentences can be achieved quite simply if the teacher is able to design sentence patterns that enable the student to combine the individual sentences. In primary school, the students can commence converting simple sentences to basic complex sentences.
THE KEY TO TEACHING WRITING
The exercise below should be completed by the students when they have mastered the basic patterns as in the reports below.
TEACH STUDENTS TO WRITE COMPLEX SENTENCES
WRITING SKILLS FOR HIGHER GRADES
Please check the exercises in the report below in which writing skills are promoted through history reports. A student in class or at home will have massive support by an extended sequence of such exercises.
A REVOLUTION IN WRITING SKILL
The students will be given a work sheet with no answers as shown in this blog report. The students work one exercise at a time with teacher support.
Once completed they may be required to complete the sequences alone without the answers at a later time. This can be done several times until the students achieve almost complete mastery.
