Synopsis

Teachers need an approach to teaching the sentence that provides students with proficiency in sentence elements and clear understanding of how these work together to create types, purposes, and functions of sentences.They, likewise, need an approach that is effective, that results in students mastering the elements essential to their understanding of English language. More than this, though, they need an instructional approach that will build students' background in text features and increase their conscious awareness of text at its most elemental level, the sentence.Following their understanding of the sentence, students can be branched easily to the paragraph and from there to understanding the whole to part nature of text better.Needed: A Whole School Focus On Sentence BasicsWhy not a whole school focus on sentence basics? Why not get all the teachers on the same page with respect to the sentence and in so doing, get everyone focused on ONE standard for writing sentences? This text provides the approach that can launch an effective writing to learn or writing across the curriculum approach.
