ChatGPT question: What teaching method is best for teaching how to build better sentences?
ChatGPT answer:
Research in writing instruction points to a clear conclusion: students learn to write better sentences most effectively by studying and imitating well-written sentences while composing their own, rather than by learning grammar rules in isolation.
Among classroom approaches, the sentence-composing method developed by Don Killgallon and Jenny Killgallon is one of the most widely recognized examples of this principle.
This is their latest: GRAMMAR OF THE GREATS: A Sentence-Composing Toolbox.
FOR YOUR STUDENTS:
An affordable companion textbook titled STUDENT ACTIVITIES FROM GRAMMAR OF THE GREATS: A Sentence-Composing Toolbox, available as a paper book or ebook, contains all student activities from the Teacher's Edition of GRAMMAR OF THE GREATS.
This worktext teaches through varied practices the sentence-building tools that authors (the "GREATS") use to build sentences, using only sentences by a multitude of authors as the basis for activities.
The practices in the sentence-composing approach help students write better because they consist exclusively of authors’ sentences instead of artificial, contrived sentences in grammar textbooks written to illustrate a grammatical structure rather than the effective use of that structure. The many authors’ sentences in the GRAMMAR OF THE GREATS illustrate the effective application of grammatical structures, or "applied grammar."
