Primary Subject – Language Arts

Grade Level – 2-4

Introduction:

Teaching students how to write a good sentence can be tough. However, this easy to use format works great!

Materials:

• pencils
  
• markers
  
• paper

Procedure:

• Fold a margin on the paper. On the first line write the words “Who/What”.
  
  On the next line, write “Did What”.
  
  Next line, write “Where”.
  
  Next line, write “When”.
  
  Next line, “Why”.
  
  Next line, “How”.
  
  Next line, “Which One”.

• Each time the students write on a new line, they repeat what they wrote from the line below. Also, they underline the words that answer each word or words that answer their margin words.
