Body of the Lesson1. Begin the lesson with reviewing with students what kind of things we look for when writing
sentences. (Capitol, end mark, does it make sense).
2. Tell students that today we will be talking about sentence structure and becoming word
detectives. Someone has scrambled up a bunch of sentences and its our job to figure
out what the sentences say. We need to unscramble the sentences. We can use what
we know about sentence structure to help us.
3. Open up the flipchart and proceed through Tuesday's portion.
4. Once you have unscrambled the sentences as a class, use the selector tool to choose
partners. Each pair of students will get a snack baggie with a bunch of jumbled of words.

their knowledge of sentence structure to unscramble.
