Sentence combining meets multiple objectives for writers, and they are all available in this informational text exercise. Learners read a mixed-up excerpt about the history of chess, putting 15 sentences into logical order. Have a volunteer read the finished text and observe the repetitive sentence structure. They use connecting words and vary sentence structure to create a better flow. There will be multiple responses for this, so present a fun challenge: who can include all the information in the least number of words?
