Synopsis

Sentence Craft is an engaging system that helps students from elementary to high school write more effective, creative sentences using the crafting process from the popular Minecraft video game as a metaphor. Written for both students and teachers, this handbook includes 19 example crafting recipes with instructions for each, as well as a detailed, graphically-rich inventory of 18 sentence ingredients. As students practice sentences based on these recipes and ingredients, they become more adept at using the sentence structures and techniques of master writers. They also become more fluent with the rules and methods of punctuation. Teachers can also use the information and ingredients contained in this handbook to dynamically create unique crafting recipes for their students to master. Access to Minecraft is not necessary.
