Continue to learn the EWL words- glued into the front of your CL book.
WALT: use exciting vocabulary and varied sentence starters
Rewrite this story to improve all the boring sentence starters and
connectives. Think about where your sentences will begin and
end and replace any boring words or phrases with more exciting
vocabulary.
The cat ran to the mouse. Then the mouse ran away. Then
the cat tried to get the mouse. And he ran after the mouse
and the mouse kept running. Then the cat got mad and went
over to the mouse. And the mouse was scared and tried to
hide from the cat.
Here’s an example for you:
Sid often sauntered around his neighbourhood late at night and
over time all the other animals had come to fear him. To humans
he seemed cute and cuddly but to the poor mice and other
animals, he was a fearsome hunter…
One night while padding lightly along his neighbour’s fence a faint
sound emerged from the bush below him. He stilled himself atop
the tin fence. Eyes round like saucers and his tail bristling in
anticipation, he waited... All of a sudden there was a flash of
colour as a small rodent…
