Tear Thief Lesson 1

Tear Thief Lesson 1

W.A.L.T. use the conjunctions because and as to create subordinate clauses.

Subordinate clause

A subordinate clause adds detail to the main clause.

You can add a subordinate clause by using subordinate conjunctions.

Let's remind ourselves what those subordinating conjunctions are with a song!

Subordinate conjunctions

Today, we are focusing on the subordinate conjunctions because and as.

Because - introduces a reason, e.g. The squirrel darted up the tree because it saw a fox.

As - tells us the time, way or how something happened, e.g. The birds chirped their morning song as the new day dawned.

If you were to assign each jewel an emotion, what matches would you make?

Pick three gemstones:

- Choose an emotion for each.

- Explain your reason for your choice.

- Use the subordinating conjunctions because or as.

Miss Davis's examples:

I think Citrine could represent fear because the orange is like a warning light.

I believe sadness could be represented by Sapphire as 'to feel blue' is to feel sad.

Your turn!

Record your sentences and send them in. You can type them on an online document or you can write them down and take a photo.

If you are stuck, ask your adult at home. If your adult at home is stuck, they can ask me and I will try my best to help. :)
