In groups, mess around with the cards on your table and see what you can come up with.

Can you identify:

• The  phrase cards ?
• The clause cards?
• The simple sentence cards?

As a group, can we make:

• the shortest and longest simple sentences?
• compound sentence?
• 3 different complex sentences?

Main Clause
What the sentence is actually about

Subordinate Clause
Extra information regarding the main clause]]> 2017-12-01 11:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212218772 tutor_rob https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212237828 2017-12-01 13:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212237828 tutor_rob https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212241020 We've spent time looking at narrative techniques and how these are used by good writers to create interesting and engaging writing.

TASK:
In pairs, create 'Top Tips' feature on how to use narrative techniques to interest and engage the reader.
This can be done in any suitable format. ]]> 2017-12-01 13:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212241020 tutor_rob https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212241083 2017-12-01 13:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212241083 tutor_rob https://padlet.com/tutor_rob/week13/wish/212241132 We've looked at how good writers use different viewpoints in their writing.  Good writers also deliberately choose the order in which events are told.  This is focus for this session.

TASK:
In pairs, sequence the narrative of the boy and the fish.  Experiment with combining the narratives.

Try:

• alternating "boy" and "fish" sections
• grouping sections together (sustained voice) 
• starting at the end and using flashbacks

Agree your final version.  Let me know when you're done.
