So would you call sentence combining the exercise of taking separate sentences (say either from a predetermined series of grammatical constructions that you want kids to try out and/or from kids' writing and you want them to consider variations) and comabining them for various effects? Just curious about the difference....starting from the smalller parts and making a whole?
Or starting with a whole and using that whole to create an experience by breaking it down into kernel sentences and then having kids experiment with putting them back together? Not sure if I made clear that the kids had not seen the author's sentences. I broke them down into kernel sentences and they worked on combining those in various ways which we talked about before actually seeing what the author had done. Just confused.
