Simple sentence

L.I: To show an increasing knowledge of how a range of text conventions can be used appropriately

This week my class and I practice creating a simple sentence. We had to visualise each picture and make a simple sentences. A simple sentence is 1 complete thought. This is an example: "He nearly caught the ball.". That is a simple sentence because its explaining about what he did.

Visualising

Visualising is drawing a picture map, mind map, or infographic about text that is difficult to understand.

 To visualise a difficult sentence, break it up into parts and then draw each part.

 If there is a word that you dont know they should be looked up in the dictionary. Children dictionaries are best s for learners. Visualising is a good way to easily understand difficult texts.
