I’ve written about, and share a bunch, of Sentence Navigators.
These are basically puzzles composed of words in columns, and then students have to choose the correct ones to create a sentence.
They’re excellent for ELL Newcomer classes.
I’ve been having ChatGPT create more of them for me. They’ve been okay, but have required a fair amount of editing. Here’s one of them that it created. You can compare them to ones I’ve shared previously.
Here’s the prompt it recommended I use for future ones:
To create Sentence Navigators like the ones we’ve discussed, here’s a clear prompt you can use in the future:
Prompt for Sentence Navigators:
“Create a Sentence Navigator with the following characteristics:
- Each Sentence Navigator should consist of four columns.
- Each column should contain three words: one article (e.g., ‘a,’ ‘an,’ ‘the’), one adjective, one noun, and one verb.
- Only one correct sentence should be possible using one word from each column.
- The sentence formed by selecting one word from each column should make sense and be realistic (e.g., avoid nonsensical combinations like ‘pink bananas’ or ‘square pineapples’).
- All other combinations should be clearly incorrect and not form a logical sentence.
- Provide the correct sentence for each Sentence Navigator after the columns.
This will give you a structured sentence navigator with realistic sentences and incorrect combinations that don’t make sense.
I’m adding it to THE “BEST” RESOURCES FOR TEACHING SENTENCE STRUCTURE.
