[MOSAIC] Sentence Combining

[kimberlee hannan]

I saw a demonstration of this from a professor from Florida (I think) at the
CATE conference in the spring.  It was fascinating how she managed to get us
to take teeny tiny sentences, like what many of my kids write, and turn them
into a good meaty sentence very similar to the original in Across Five
Aprils.

I understand this is NOT a new technique.  She used it for revision, ELD
students, and reading comprehension.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, let go of what you can't
change, kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give
everything, have no regrets.. Life's too short to be anything but happy.
