~Word - x - word, line - x - line ~ Instructions: Tell students they are going to write a line. You will provide them a word. It doesn't have to be a complete sentence; you just have to use the word in a line. The line can't be longer than the line on the page. The lines should connect somehow, like perhaps to tell a story. Punctuation isn't necessary. Word by word, go through the list and give students time to think and write. Students can use any variation of the word, add endings or suffixes.

- Use good examples from literature - Show students examples of good writing and have them practice - Can use sentence composing to generate or to revise existing writing
