Create a sentence based on the model

Learning Objectives Identify the parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective) in a model sentence. Describe the pattern of a model sentence. Brainstorm new words for each part of a sentence pattern. Write a new, complete sentence that correctly follows a given model. Check their new sentence to make sure it makes sense and matches the model's pattern. Create multiple different sentences from a single model sentence. Have you ever built something with LEGOs using instructions? 🧱 You follow a pattern to make something new and cool! In this lesson, we will learn how to be sentence detectives! We will look at a 'model' sentence, figure out its secret pattern, and then use that pattern to build our own amazing sentences. This helps us become stronger and more creative...

The Pattern Finder Rule Look at each word in the model sentence and label its part of speech (Noun, Verb, Adjective, etc.). Use this first step to figure out the sentence 'recipe'. This helps you see the structure you need to copy. The Word Swap Rule Replace each key word from the model with a new word of the exact same type. You must swap a noun for a noun, a verb for a verb, and an adjective for an adjective. This keeps the sentence pattern the same. The Sense Check Rule Read your new sentence out loud to make sure it makes sense. After you swap the words, your new sentence must still be a complete thought that is easy to understand.
