The first four lessons of the Rabbit and the Turtle get students creating language, writing sentences with that language, discovering parts of speech from their sentences, and then writing a story with the vocabulary the whole class has generated.
These lessons are great for any teacher because they fill the hours the class is together with valuable activities.
