The sentence starter models are based on the book The Student Guide to Writing Better Sentences in the Classroom by Ticking Mind. This book is a incredible resource and I can't recommend it highly enough.
I have done a few professional learning workshops and bought units of work from Ticking Mind and they are brilliant resources. |
