LC: To explore complex sentences using different conjunctions.
-
A subordinating conjunction is the word or words used to join two clauses together in a complex sentence.
-
They are words such as because, although, unless, whereas.
-
They do the job of showing the relationship between the two clauses and showing us which is the most important.
Let's watch a short clip on how we can include subordinating conjunctions in our sentences.
Let's identify where the subordinating conjunctions are in the sentences below...
When the Spider asked the Fly into his parlour, she refused to enter.
The fly wouldn't go into to the pantry although she was hungry.
After the Fly refused his third request, the Spider told her she was witty and wise.
The Spider invited the Fly into his house because he wanted his supper.

LC: Read and analyse narrative to help plan my own version.
Introduction (Prologue)
As well as a description of the setting and main character, our prologue is going to include a short scene where the Spider is dreaming or daydreaming about food.
Prologue
A prologue is an introductory part of a play or a story. The main purpose of a prologue is to provide some background information that is important for the current story. The prologue provides the reader with information about the characters and their backgrounds that is necessary for us to understand the story we are about to read.
I want you to all close your eyes and think of a time of when your teacher or family member might had asked you if you are day dreaming. Your teacher might had said to you "stop daydreaming and concentrate on your work."
This means, that instead of concentrating on what someone is saying, your mind has drifted to think about something else.
Has this ever happened to you? Discuss with your talk partners what you might had been dreaming about whilst in lesson...mine is usually dreaming about food!
Our job is to write a daydream about the spider thinking about delicious foods. This will be added to our introduction that we started to plan on Friday.
We are going to read, analyse, collect ideas and create a toolkit for a dream or daydream scene.
Let’s take a look at some famous video clips to help us with our learning!
