Phrase and Clause Patterns: Clarke Field Trips

Here are some student examples from a unit we did this spring on Phrase and Clause Patterns. It's a "capstone" type project, rounding out a year of exploring phrase and clause patterns. As we know, good writing is rich in elaboration and various phrasing patterns.

In getting these ready to be presented here, I sometimes made an edit or addition, and I supplied definitions for students. Other than that, the work was done by the students -- they chose the themes, and assembled the photographs and sentences. These two students used their own photographs from their field trips. I'm pleased that these slides are both engaging and instructive. These presentations are grouped together because of the common theme of 8th grade Clarke field trips.
