Literacy – Up levelling sentences
We are revising how to up-level sentences by adding VCOP and clauses.
We can improve sentences in different ways to make them more exciting, adventurous and interesting.
- Add some interesting adjectives to describe the people, objects or places.
e.g. The man walked along the path.
The mysterious man walked along the narrow, gloomy path
- Improve the verb(s) (doing words)
e.g. The man walked along the path.
The mysterious man crept along the narrow, gloomy path.
- Add an adverb(s) (describe the verb)
e.g. The man walked along the path.
The mysterious man crept quietly along the narrow, gloomy path.
- Add a clause (extra information to the sentence)
e.g. The man walked along the path.
The tall man crept quietly along the narrow, dark path, stopping every few steps to kick stones.
