We covered 5 styles of sentence starters over the past 2 days. Assigned in class today was to give 2 examples of each. Students had 10 minutes (at least) to work on this in class.

The sentence starters were as follows:

Subject start
-ly start
Preposition start
-ing start
-ed start

Students had the opportunity to take notes on this all in class...and were encouraged to do so.
