 * Weather Sentence Diagramming**

On their worksheets, students connect individual cities, temperatures, today's weather, and tomorrow's weather from 4 separate columns to form sentences.

Students then follow their lines across the page to "read" their sentences to their partners, who must listen, and connect each element that is mentioned so that their papers look the same as that of their partner.

The textbook //Bravo// has some very good examples of this activity. user:chericem1
