Telescopic Text
During our literacy rotations last week the students had the opportunity to work in a great website called Telescopic Text. In small groups the students started with a small and simple sentence that they could extend with extra words to make it a larger more enjoyable sentence. The groups did this with me as a shared writing experience. They later went on to do this independently creating a sentence of their own. Click on the links below to see some of the examples.
Sophie’s Telescopic Text called “I saw a bird.”
Jonathon’s Telescopic Text called “I received presents.”
