Throughout my tutoring experience, I have found that many students of all ages have difficulty writing conclusion sentences. A good activity for elementary students is to give them a topic sentence and then tell them they need to write a conclusion that expresses the SAME IDEA but use DIFFERENT WORDS. They should NOT add new information (ie details) in their conclusion. It is extremely important to give them examples.
Topic: Winter sports are lots of fun.
Conclusion: I always look forward to participating in winter sports.
Topic: Last summer, I went to Hawaii with my family.
Conclusion: I enjoyed spending time with my family in Hawaii.
Here are some other topics your student can try:
Topic: Students should not wear uniforms at school.
Conclusion:______________________________________________
Topic: It is important to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables if you would like to have a healthy diet.
Conclusion:______________________________________________
Topic: I will never forget my first day of fourth grade.
Conclusion: ______________________________________________

ReplyDeleteEvaluating our student's performance will give us an overview of their strengths and weaknesses. With this, we can think of strategies on how we can strengthen their weakness. We can be effective teachers if we can think of various ways to optimize learning every session. :)
