Similar to sentence jumble except that a specified number of multiple choice jumbled answers will be generated for each sentence.
ie
Choose the correct sentence:
(a) The quick fox brown jumped over the lazy dog
(b) The brown fox quick jumped dog the lazy over
(c) The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
(d) The lazy dog jumped quick the fox over brown.
Answer: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
This activity would be easy to generate because the sentence jumble feature is already present.
Further feature (advanced)
- words of a certain length could also be removed and replaced randomly from another wordlist such as the 3000 most common words
- this would allow variations to the sentences and make the choices considerably more difficult ... If set maximum word length to replace was set to 3, 'the' could be replaced with such words as 'a, an, in, is, of, on' etc Learners make lots of mistakes with these little grammar words.
thanks

Quick question Steve: Are the "Further feature (advanced)" items part of the same worksheet suggestion, or separate suggestions for something else?
