ONE SENTENCE TEST

One sentence! This was certainly not an exercise for cowards, but choosing one significant sentence from a chapter was most difficult because there were many to choose from. However, it is a great approach to getting students to search through the book for a specified chapter then a significant sentence. At the same time they are reviewing the material. Excellent exercise!!!

It is quite obvious that Lori is a dedicated and creative teacher by her demo today. I can picture her young students not only enjoying but learning skills they don't have the privilege of learning any place else, especially in an unavailable art class. Thank goodness we have teachers like her and many others in our group. Once again, RAFT is quite effective for condensing the purpose of writing into a manageable acronym, one that students can grasp and remember.
