Writing | Compound Sentences

LI: to write meaningful and interesting COMPOUND sentences.

Compound sentences are made up of two ideas combined with a 'FANBOY' or 'Conjunction'.

A simple sentence is made up of one idea, but simple sentences don't require to be short.

First, we started with trying to make simple sentences with pictures by having one sentence and one idea, another sentence with another idea and then joining them up by choosing a conjunction.

Sentence 1: The macaw's back feathers are blue.
Sentence 2: The macaw's chest feathers are yellow.

Conjunction: The macaw's back feathers are blue, but her chest feathers are yellow.

Then we had to continue on doing this with four other given images on a slide. This is to help us improve writing compound sentences and understanding what is expected with compound and simple sentences.
