Year 5 - Using Connectives



As a special treat, my cat, Mr Evelyn Paw, is setting tonight's homework:



Get a Voki now!



Connective words are used either in or between paragraphs to help to show the connection or relationship between one sentence and another. Used carefully, they can assist the reader in moving from one point to the next.

Connectives may be used to:

make comparisons or contrasts
add to an idea
express a result
summarise
explain or illustrate
arrange ideas in order, time or space.

Homework: Redraft one of the paragraphs in your last essay, but add in some of the connectives we discussed in class (don't forget the spelling test on them tomorrow!)
