Keep Educating Yourself

Making Connectives Clearer

Course Title: Making Connectives Clearer
Provider: Andrell Education

COURSE DURATION: Approx. 60 MINUTES

What are Connectives (the C in VCOP)?
A connective is a word or phrase that links ideas, clauses or sentences. Connectives can be conjunctions (e.g. but, when, because) or connecting adverbs (e.g. however, then, therefore). Connecting adverbs (and adverbial phrases and clauses) maintain the cohesion of a text.

The aim of the session is to;
· Understand the importance of teaching connectives in a purposeful way.
· Look at connectives beyond conjunctions.
· Add more games and activities to our resource kits.

This course is suitable for educators of Pre-School to Adult learners, using or wishing to use the VCOP elements in their classroom. It is also suitable for leadership, support staff, or educators wishing to raise writing or oral language skills of their students.

Ideally this course will be completed as a staff using the school license. 

This course provides a further understanding of the benefits of VCOP, and is linked to the Big Write and VCOP writing approach and training courses.

Look for other courses in the Big Write and VCOP series to learn more.
