One of the all time greatest teaching books ever!!! I can not even begin to describe all the ways I have used this book in my classroom. The pattern inside can be used in review of any subject you teach. Science, math, social studies you name it. It even works well when writing about a person you know, Mother's Day, Father's day, or a special person. I begin by reading the book to my students. We then put the pattern on the board and the children replace the main topic and supporting details with their own thoughts. Each students work can be a stand alone piece of work or put together to make a book or done on the computer and turned into a Photo Story. There are lots of ways to use this exciting book. Change the sentence starter; significant, vital, imperative, chief, key, main, essential, principal, worthy, essential. notable, influential, or insignificant, trivial, minor etc...
Have fun and watch the learning flourish.
