Expand Using Contrast

Students take short independent clauses and expand them into complete, detailed sentences using despite or in spite of. They must also add descriptive detail of their own. This promotes creativity, sentence fluency, and a deeper understanding of concessive contrast as a stylistic tool in writing.
