Hi Jen,

Here are a couple of ideas.

Rory's Story Cubes www.storycubes.com<http://www.storycubes.com>

Instead of using to tell stories, the students write a sentence using whatever formulas have been taught.


The Sentence Zone  www.bonnieterrylearning.com<http://www.bonnieterrylearning.com>

A game board which reinforces many of the skills and concepts in FSW and PSW.


Have fun,

Beth

Hi Jen,

There are some enrichment activities in Appendix C of the instructor's manual starting on page 183 that might be helpful. There is also an exercise that I developed based on an idea that I learned at a John Strobe cooperative learning session. The partners work on alternating sentences on each other's learning sheets. They have to use hand signals (so it is a silent activity) to indicate they are done with 1 sentence, then they switch. They check each other's sentence and write feedback. Then, they do the next sentence on their partner's paper. Signal, switch, correct, give feedback, do next one, signal, etc. It is amazing to see the silent cooperative learning take place.  Please find the example attached.

Jocelyn
