Appendix A

This Microsoft Word grammar activity integrates technology and is motivational to students.  This one deals with the topic of sentence structure.  Students watch while I teach the concept using the Smartboard, and then work on their own computer to complete the assignment. This program allows students to work at their own pace and save work to their network folders.  I can then design future instruction based on my evaluation of this work.  The development of this tool shows my understanding of the following elements from the NETS-T, CTTC, and CCCT.

NETS-T – I.a, I.b, II.a, II.b, II.d, II.e, III.a, III.b, III.d, IV.a, IV.c, IV.d

CTTC – I.b, I.c, II.a, II.b, II.c, II.e, IV.c, IV.d

CCCT – 1.1, 1. 2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7

When trying to decide if a group of words is a sentence, remember to ask yourself two questions:

          Is it a complete thought?

Text Box: NO      Does it have the two parts that it needs?

You have a sentence.
 
Text Box: You do not have a sentence.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Directions: Read each of the following groups of words. Decide which groups are sentences and which are not. If it is a sentence, move a smiley face to the end of it. If it is not a sentence, type in what is needed to make it a sentence.
