Codes: AC9E2LA07, AC9E2LA09, AC9E2LY06. Goal: extend a noun with an article/adjective and choose a precise verb. Prepare: sentence-edit cards, real paper strip and drawings.

  1. Invite · 2 min. Say: “The paper moved.” Ask: “What might a reader still wonder?”
  2. Model · 5 min. Write The paper moved. Underline paper; add thin and change moved to dipped: The thin paper dipped. Say: “The words the thin paper make a noun group. Dipped tells more than moved in our story.” Read both aloud.
  3. Guided revision · 6 min. Offer A bridge stood. Ask for one justified detail: A folded paper bridge stood across the gap. Compare how much a listener can picture. Do not add an observation that contradicts the source.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Children choose one event card and write, dictate or build one accurate sentence with a noun group and precise verb. Prompts: “Which object? What feature did the story actually tell us? What did it do?” Partner draws what the sentence describes and asks for missing detail.
  5. Edit aloud · 3 min. Model rereading for sense and a sentence stop. Ask the author to choose one change, such as a clearer noun or verb, without requiring a longer sentence for its own sake.
  6. Check · 2 min. Everyone revises The toy went. into a sentence that fits Story A, e.g. The small toy rolled onto the paper. Focus learners point to the noun group and action word. If an adjective is random, return to the story detail.

Access: movable word tiles, large print, keyboard/AAC/dictation, two-choice adjective cards. Judge the language decision separately from handwriting.
