Designed to give students practice in “productive questioning,” the 24 lessons in this unit boast two parts.

First, students are posed with a sentence and asked to write as many questions concerning the statement as possible. Example: “Tears ran down the girl’s face.”

Putting it all together is the second task. Example: “Look at the questions you asked. Think about how you would answer each one. Use your answers to write a story. Give it an interesting title.”

Young writers will get plenty of practice with sentence composition and creative thinking.
