I hope you found it reinforcing as we've been working on using complex sentences for our topic sentences. Maybe it even made some concepts more clear!Zurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780076027247356249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-57150370336024404692012-10-15T18:59:20.958-04:002012-10-15T18:59:20.958-04:00This video was very intriguing, as I am in 6th gra...This video was very intriguing, as I am in 6th grade and trying to improve my writing skills.

If we were writing a persuasive essay, would using something such as: Although (opposing reason), (my reason is the best) because __________? It seems like it fits for that type of essay.<br /><br />Answer: Great catch, Brian! Yes, using this technique in a persuasive essay is an excellent way to acknowledge an opposing viewpoint while stating your opinion. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087374456804743885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-36338608922958719622012-10-09T09:21:13.943-04:002012-10-09T09:21:13.943-04:00I will email tonight. ;)I will email tonight. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087374456804743885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-87034269920364479552012-10-09T09:06:03.234-04:002012-10-09T09:06:03.234-04:00Camila, you can use these types of sentences anywh...Camila, you can use these types of sentences anywhere in your writing. The key is to use different types of sentences throughout the writing in order to add to the flow (sentence fluency) of the piece. Because the LB is a transitional device, I suggest using it at the beginning of the paragraphs for that reason, but of course, you can incorporate them anywhere! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087374456804743885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-13556764425904674542012-10-08T23:09:01.651-04:002012-10-08T23:09:01.651-04:00I noticed that the LB, S's were usually placed...I noticed that the LB, S's were usually placed at the beginning or end of the paragraph.

It adds a special pop to the writing instead of just saying: to begin with, furthermore, etc because it is always different. Whenever you start a paragraph, this lets you introduce your topic in a much more fluent way. Before, you can just say to begin with, pineapples are a delicious snack, now you can say since it is always nice to get a delcious snack to eat, pineapples are a great way to introduce fruit to a diet.<br />Kyle S<br />Period 3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939265909887734689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-18226388066089496462012-10-08T20:49:20.512-04:002012-10-08T20:49:20.512-04:00ok thank you.ok thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180173456886723515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384977627720422000.post-40346001138745898102012-10-08T20:48:43.622-04:002012-10-08T20:48:43.622-04:00Yes.
