We've been looking at some ideas around sentence structure, which actually tends to be a bit of a weakness with students at this level I find. Here are some DLO's showing the students' understanding of complex sentences at this time. Check out the week 4 and 5 writing planning on the site for a detailed breakdown of what we got up to, but the main things we looked at were:
- independent clauses
- dependent clauses
- conjunctions
We looked at three ways to construct a complex sentence:
- Independent clause + conjunction + dependent clause
- Dependent clause + comma + independent clause
- Split independent clause (subject + comma + dependent clause + the rest of the independent clause)
