Main: Sentence Strip Puzzles
Distribute the Scrambled Sentence Strips. Each student gets one set of cut-up words.
1. Students scramble the words.
2. Students rebuild the sentence based on the video context.
3. Check: "Does it start with a capital? Does it end with punctuation?"
05
Closure: Fluency Parade
Each student stands and reads their completed sentence fluently. Encourage "Superstar Voices" (smooth and clear).
Pro-Tip for Struggling Readers
If a student is stuck on a sentence strip, provide the "Sentence Key" (the uncut version) for them to use as a model to match their words against.
