Summary
Rather than just demand that students “write clearly,” we’ll explore the hazards of poorly written sentences… and maybe create one of our own!
- I model how one sentence can have multiple meanings, then students analyze, "We watched her duck."
- After sharing my answers from the last video, students tackle three more ambiguous sentences.
- Finally, students will create their own ambiguous sentence, using a homograph as their starting point.
