📋 Teacher Notes: Differentiation Strategies

For Beginning Learners:

• Provide picture cards to support sentence building

• Use colour-coded joining word cards (and=green, but=red, or=blue)

• Start with oral practice before writing

For Advanced Learners:

• Challenge students to write compound sentences with descriptive words

• Introduce complex sentences using "because" and "when"

• Create story chains where each sentence builds on the previous one

Group Activity Ideas:

• Sentence building relay races

• "Fix the sentence" games with incorrect joining words

• Story circle where each student adds a compound sentence
