| Title | Graphic Organizer Idea for Future/Conditional Statements |
| Body | Here is an idea for producing future and conditional statements with a graphic organizer from an FLTEACH user: In my Honors 3 class, I give a few imperfect subjunctive when we do the conditional, just for some context. I think we do "I had," "I could," and "I were." Then, I assign a fishbone diagram. (It's that old brainstorming diagram.) They have to come up with some type of starting statement, like " If I had a million dollars," or "If I were the President," etc. That's the fish's head/spine. The next step is to branch off of that statement (The main body of the fish) with all the things that would result. Next, continue the skeleton with all the things that would result from those initial results, and so on, and so on. Continue this until you have the desired number of "bones." If you draw a line around your statements, they say that it resembles a strange kind of fish. Their results are very funny and they really enjoy the activity. (If I won the lottery, I would be rich. I would donate money to charity. Many people would have more food and clothing. They would be happy., etc.) Henman, B. Re: Conditional/Future Ideas.
