Hi all, I really liked Nanosh's post last week about the benefits of not wearing pants. :) It got me thinking about creating a list of sentence frames for each level of my classes. My thought was that it would be great to have at least one specific sentence frame per week per language level for the entire school year. Ideally the same basic frame could be used in each level, but with more complexity in the more advanced courses. For example, first year kids might learn, "In my opinion ___ is better than ___." Second year kids might learn, "In my opinion ___ is better than ___ because ___." And third year kids might learn, "In my opinion ___ is better than ___ for the following reasons: First, second, third, finally, etc." I feel like I might be able to generate a list of frames for Spanish 1, but I get pretty befuddled thinking about coming up with 30 frames or more for each of the levels. Therefore, I am asking for all of you to help. Please add your favorite sentence frames and ideas to the google doc at the following link. I think this could be a great resource for everyone. I've elected to use English so that people from all language classes can benefit. https://docs.google.com/a/rpacademy.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au54I8espCbPdExaNHF0LTBKS2RYTnNQNVZ3akk0bUE#gid=0 If a document like this already exists somewhere and I am being redundant, please let me know. My goal is simply to have a resource like this. Once I have some frames, I think I can run with lots of different ideas for each one.
