Dr. Duggan's one page sentence

Students will be given a prompt, if they desire, and then must write a one-page long sentence. They will have twenty minutes to do so, and throughout the twenty minutes, the teacher can put hints on the board as to how to construct a sentence of this length (such as semi colons, using 'and' or commas, etc). At the end, the teacher can show some examples of this in literature to show that it is not as far-fetched as it may have seemed before the lesson (see Henry James).
