    WHAT ARE CONNECTIVES?
    Connectives are connecting adverbs that link
    ideas which may be in different sentences or
    paragraphs.
    They help to link your:
    Ideas
    Sentences
    Paragraphs

    Connectives are used between paragraphs or between


    sentences in order to show a connection between
    one part of your writing and another.
    They make your writing more powerful.
    INVESTIGATING CONNECTIVES
    If used appropriately in your writing-you can
    help the reader move smoothly from one
    point to the next.
    Look at your reading book what examples
    of connectives can you see?
    How are they used?
    Can you use them in a sentence or
    discussion with confidence? Rehearse some
    sentences with your Talking Partner.
    IDENTIFYING CONNECTIVES
    Using a whiteboard write down as many
    connectives as you can. Remember they
    need not just be single words; some can be
    made up of a few words put together.
    What effect do the different connectives you
    have written down have on sentences they
    could be used in? Discuss this with your
    Talking Partner.

    TASK: With your Talking Partner have a go at


    creating complex sentences using the Linking
    Clauses activity.
