Conjunctions (voegwoorden)

In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses that are called the conjuncts of the conjunctions. This definition may overlap with that of other parts of speech, so what constitutes a "conjunction" must be defined for each language

(there's more than one correct answer)

1. and, but, because
2. in, on, at, to
3. therefore, moreover
4. don't know

Choose the right conjunction

"I enjoy dancing, ... I like singing more."

1. and
2. so
3. but
4. because

Which conjunction fits best?

2. But
3. Additionally

Choose the right conjunction.

Alternative ending

Top warm-up we're going to watch a short art film

called 

"Coin Operated".

It is an award-winning 5 minute animated short film that spans 70 years in the life of one naive explorer. This film was proudly written & directed by Nicholas Arioli

Game - Draw what you hear

1) Each student must write a short paragraph (100-150 words) describing a cartoon character (Popeye, Mickey Mouse, etc.).

2) Wheel-decide will select students to read their paragraph.

3) The student reads what they wrote, to the class. As one student reads, the other students should draw an image according to what they hear. 

4) The teacher collects all the drawings and according to the paragraphs that were read, the most correct drawing wins.
