I saw a demonstration of this from a professor from Florida (I think) at the CATE conference in the spring. It was fascinating how she managed to get us to take teeny tiny sentences, like what many of my kids write, and turn them into a good meaty sentence very similar to the original in Across Five Aprils.
I understand this is NOT a new technique. She used it for revision, ELD students, and reading comprehension. Has anyone had any experience with this?
