Today we took boring old sentences:
The boy ran.
The teacher laughed.
The man jumped.
The lady sang.
The fish swam.
The food was hot.
and turned them into exciting sentences!!!
Squeaky the famous boy ran so fast he caught on fire, and he ran slow and froze the right speed.
The short fat famous teacher laughed loudly.
The man jumped because he had bouncy shoes.
The famous French dwarf lady sang extremely loudly, "La!" to the earth.
The golden big fish swam gracefully deep.
The food was so hot it caught my mouth on fire.
I modeled it with the kiddos first using the sentence, "The dog barked." That became "The famous big brown dog barked, "Ruff. Ruff," loudly at me.
Then I had the kids get into groups of 2 or 3 and circle write.
This means one person started and added one thing to the old sentence, then the next student added to that... and so on.
