If you need a natural stopping point!
Teachers: This is a natural stopping point. The next video builds on sentence expansion and talks about nouns, adjectives, and prepositions and their role in the sentences that students just wrote.
If you’re continuing right now, advance to the next slide.

Discuss: Take a few seconds and come up with three other nouns, words that name THINGS. (They DON'T have to be things that jump!)
Discuss: Take a few seconds and come up with three adjectives, words that describe something.
Teachers: If you have more time, here are some suggestions for extending the lesson:
• Additional videos students can use to expand “It jumped.”
• A free-writing assignment that lets students write a longer piece based on their favorite sentence from today’s lesson.
Practice expanding “It jumped.”
Use these videos to give students more practice expanding the sentence “It jumped” by adding what jumped, what it looked like, and where it jumped. If you have time, students could try drawing each other’s sentences.
Free-writing extension:
Ask students to choose their favorite from the sentences they wrote by expanding “It jumped.”
Have them discuss with a partner: If the sentence you wrote was the first sentence of a story, what do you think would happen NEXT?
Then have them discuss: If the sentence you wrote was the LAST sentence of a story, what do you think happened BEFORE the jump.
Write a few sentences about what happened before or after the jump.
