Stretch a Sentence

We've been working on stretching sentences by adding the 5 W's: Who? What? When? Where? Why? This poster is an excellent reminder for students on how to stretch a sentence in their writing.  Students definitely have the subject and predicate parts of a sentence down, but adding details is now our focus!  Why do we stretch a sentence?  We streeeeeeetch a sentence to make our writing more interesting for the reader, grabbing that "hook" so that you can't put down the story!
