Year 6 - Redrafting Task



//L.O. To use a varied prose style when writing a short story//

You are going to redraft your 'Victorian carriage' story - and I want you to focus on making sure you have included at least one of the following:

* A fragment (1-2 word sentence)
* An impact sentence (3-4 word sentence)
* The listing comma
* The joining comma
* The bracketing comma
* Brackets
* A colon
* A semi-colon

If you manage to include all of the above then you are halfway to having an 'elegant' prose style.

Please annotate your 'finished' redraft with a gel pen, showing me where you have included each of the pieces of punctuation/sentence types listed above.

P.S. Don't forget to bring in on USB/send via email to baldworm@baldworm.co.uk/print out your homemade comprehension on Monday!

Due: Monday.

Have a great weekend!
