Write Awake

Are you AWAKE yet? Do you want to help raise the vibration of the Planet? Do you want to use (and choose) your words to encourage Wellness, Peace, and Positivity? Do you want to heighten your creativity and intuition? Conscious writers are visionaries. They are in tune with the rhythms of nature and the struggles for a better world. They write responsibly and pay it forward. When author Eleyne-Mari Sharp began writing professionally in 1980, she had no idea she would someday become a novelist,

The focus of Literacy Mats is “reading to learn.” So how is Literacy Mats different from other reading and language arts learning tools and how is lifelong learning ach

Lesson 18: The Adjective Cluster

Created by

Yes, we really do need more examples of Adjective Clusters. It's sometimes hard for students (and authors, I guess) to get the hang of them, but again, they happen outside the main clause, where they have the freedom to elaborate upon the nucleus in a fashion they simply could not achieve in the main clause. What grade level would this be best for? When is it time to drop all those one-word adjectives that are stuffed into the main clause, in favor of the flow and imagery of the lower levels? Th

Lesson 4—Present Participial Phrase

Created by

Now that we have learned how to place the free modifiers after, before, and within the main clause, we move to the most common free modifier, the present participle. Students will learn where to place it in the sentence, and how to get the most out of its usefulness. See how many they can put in one sentence (see the Harper Lee example!) and have them pick up any book in the library and time themselves how long it takes to find one. They can then submit their findings to the whole class, and hav

Lesson 9: Past Participial Phrase

Created by

The past participial phrase is not as frequent as its predecessor, referring, as its name implies, to the past rather than the present. But it has strength and purpose, and its relationship with the rest of the sentence is often vital to the action in a novel or the reasoning in an essay.It's a fun challenge to the students to find ways to put past participial phrases in their writing. Thinking in terms of the Levels is often a useful approach. Also, sentences that are built upon phrases contain

Lessons 2-3: Free Modifiers Before and Within

Created by

Grammar, Literature, Writing

So, now we have seen free modifiers doing their thing—making the writing more detailed, flowing, and satisfying. I hope you are thinking about how you can apply these lessons to the books that you teach. It is far more appealing when the students are alert as they read, and pretend it's a treasure hunt for new features that they can add to their next writing assignment.After having studied Lessons 1-3, which were touched on in the "Free Product" offer, the students are asked to write out the le

Lessons 23-24: The Adverb Clause

Created by

The adverb clause is so much easier to teach and understand than the adjective clause. Take a sentence, slap a coordinating conjunction on the front of it, and you're done. A fun exercise in class is to pair up. One person says a sentence, the other person adds the conjunction. Maybe do it in circles of six or eight, depending on the number of students. And maybe have them, before you begin, select a simple sentence (no free modifiers) from a book they are reading, and that will be the one they

Lessons 19-20: The Adjective Clause

Created by

Lesson 19 covers the adjective clause when applied to humans (who, whose, whom), and Lesson 20 presents the adjective clause for non-humans (which, that).There are many topics that pop up, such as when to use them, how to use them, and where to put them, but you'll find it all covered here. One interesting classroom technique appears with Exercise A. It involves merging two sentences by turning one of them into an adjective clause. What is to be removed? What replaces it? Where should you put it

Lessons 5-8: How not to Mess Up

Created by

Creative Writing, English Language Arts, Writing

As with any new adventure, there will be some cautions that must be applied. Confidence can turn into overconfidence, as the students discover these new elements of writing and are eager to try them out all over the place. These four lessons explain how to avoid mistakes. Let them have some fun by intentionally writing misplaced modifiers, and then fixing them. They will learn quickly to get it right, and they will want to share their successes as well.

Lesson 25: Seldom Free

Created by

Our last batch of Free Modifiers consists of the infinitive phrase, the adverb, and the prepositional phrase. We see them all the time, but mostly as bound modifiers in the Level 1.But they do occasionally get free. That opening infinitive sequence, from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, exhibits wonderful charm and vividness, delightful for the child or adult.The gracefulness of movement, with an adverbial arrangement that builds with flowing grace, displays Hemingway at his astute best.And the obse

When we want to learn how to improve our tennis serve, we watch videos of Serena Williams. When we want to learn how to shred the guitar, we listen to Jimi Hendrix. And when it comes to learning how to ride a bicycle, we turn to Mom or Dad. We go to the experts. And when we walk around the classroom discussing great literature, we are holding hands with an expert. Maybe it’s J. K. Rowling, or John Steinbeck, or Tara Westover, or Elie Wiesel. My favorite was Jack London, and the book was The Call
