10-second review: How help students improve sentence structure? Students contrast two sentences and decide which was better expressed.
Source: Suggested by EH Schuster. English Journal (May 2005), 94-98. A publication of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Comment: The technique I guess has some use, but I think the sentences need to be in context. After combining sentences, students choose which sentence (of two or three or more) seems to be better or best, but need to keep in mind that context and tone could affect the decision. The discussion could be interesting. Need to try this myself before trying it with the students. RayS.
