Sentence singing!

Today we looked at the power and effect of varied sentence lengths. Have a read of this:
The students took a piece of writing and counted the words in each of their sentences. They then tallied up the number of sentences under 5 words, the number between 5 and 15 words, and the number of sentences longer than 5 words. It was great for the students to discover what the variety is like in their sentence lengths. The students also worked out the average length of their sentences and what that said about their sentence lengths. Tomorrow we will do a piece of writing with a focus on varying sentence lengths.
