Alan Peat's Exciting Sentences
Alan's first book can be difficult to get your hands on - until now! Alan has just released the Alan Peat Pocket App of Exciting Sentences. For just $2.49 you can have access to all of his original sentence structures, along with examples in a variety of genres, on your iOS device. Download the app here.
If you love them and want more - head to www.alanpeat.com/ and check out all of his resources as well as purchase his latest Exciting Sentence book.
100 Word Challenge
Once students have linked their work to the 100 Word challenge site, Team 100 representatives visit the student's post and leave feedback for them. This is a fabulous way for your students to receive feedback from teachers and adult readers worldwide.
The site also features a weekly showcase, where student writing samples are selected and highlighted on the site. Many students make their goal to be selected for the showcase - which is considered a great honour.
If 100 words is a little too much for your beginning writers, there is also the 5 Sentence Challenge option to start on.
Head over to 100wc.net to check out the fabulous work of Julia Skinner (@TheHeadsOffice) and her Team 100.
