In my writing group we were learning about Pumping up our sentences so that our writing is more interesting to read. Check out some of the work I have been doing below.
Pump up your sentence!
WALT: use different sentence structures for effect.
Short sentences: (3-4 words only)
I enjoy Horse riding.
Hana enjoys Horse riding.
We love horse riding.
Compound sentences: (a comma is used, then a conjunction)
Horse riding also involves grooming, so we groom the horses.
We need to wear a helmet when we are horse riding, so we wear helmets.
It’s better to use a saddle when horse riding, therefore I use a saddle.
Subject first:
Horse riding is fun.
Horse riding is a sport.
Horse riding is great.
Adjectives first: (describe the subject)
Sticky mud dries up on the hooves of the horse.
Soft fur is activated after grooming.
Heavy saddles are lifted onto the horse.
Adverbs first: (how is the doing happening? Comma after adverb)
Carefully, I jump over the painted logs.
Galloping, the horse runs away.
Gracefully, I watch Teifi Canter.
