In this lesson, Teaching Grammar in Context by Constance Weaver provides foundational information for this lesson. When I Go Camping with Grandma, a book by Marion Dane Bauer, is used as the mentor text of this lesson. Students will develop sentences with nouns, action verbs, adverbs and prepositional phrases and later collect more ideas for sentences through an interactive idea generator, record them, and move the order of generated words until they are ordered in a way which they like the most. Then students will develop a story around the chosen sentence. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
