Better Lesson: What Makes a Sentence?

Curated by ACT

This activity will help students recognize that spoken sentences are represented in written language by specific sequences of words, beginning with a capital letter and ending with a punctuation mark. This activity is short but it allows time to focus explicitly on sentences and what they need, while also keeping students engaged and showing them how we always move from left to right.
