This weeks goal for writing this week is, use a range of written features to engage the audience.
For my create task we learnt about complex sentences and compound sentences. Complex has a Independent clause and dependent clauses. A independent is a sentence that can stand on its own!
Example of a complex sentence could be "The tree was as tall as giraffe, as it tumbles down"
Where do you think the independence clause is and where is the dependent?
If you guessed that the independent clause is "The tree was as tall as a giraffe" Because you can write a sentence with just the tree was as tall as a giraffe. The dependent clause is "as it tumbles down" why?
Because you dont write a sentence that says "as it tumbles down" In a complex sentence there is also a
conjunction, a conjunction is what joins the sentence together, where do you think a conjunction would go in this sentence? "The tree was as tall as giraffe, as it tumbles down"
In that sentence there is also a simile, the simile is "The tree was as tall as a giraffe" Because I am comparing something to something else.
If you guess the word was "as" then you were right!
Here is a picture of my task!
Have you ever write a complex sentence, if so what was it and did you get the questions right when I asked?
