Literacy

In GPS (grammar punctuation and spelling) this week we have focused on sentence types and in literacy we have been writing a character description of an elephant.

SC: Simple sentence = a verb and a noun. E.g. The elephant (noun) roared (verb).
Compound sentence = Two simple sentences joined by a conjunction. E.g. The elephant roared after he heard a gunshot fire.
Complex sentence = Contains one simple sentence (main clause or independent clause) and one or more dependent clause ( embedded, relative or subordinate clause (part of a sentence that wouldn’t make sense by itself), where commas are used to separate the different clauses.

E.g. Slowly creeping down the lake, the elephant roared loudly.
Challenge 1: Write 3 simple sentences about an elephant.

Challenge 2: Write 3 simple and 3 compound sentences about an elephant.

Challenge 3: Write 3 compound and complex sentences about an elephant.
