Conjunctions are words or phrases that join two parts of a sentence.
Co-ordinating conjunctions are conjunctions which can join together two main clauses.
You can remember them as the FANBOYS
For And Nor But Or Yet So
Write three sentences which contain a co-ordinating conjunction.
For example,
Heidi doesn’t like sausages, nor does she like peas.
Your Task
Today your task is to choose one or two sections of your story to edit and improve.
As a reminder, watch again, the two BBC Bitesize videos about proofreading and redrafting techniques.
Use the feedback you have been given as well as the tips from the videos.
Remember to edit in a different colour so that we can easily see where changes have been made.
