Ban Boring Sentences



VCOPS to the rescue!
The cat went along the wall.
Let’s get our VCOP skills working
to save us from the boredom of
        boring sentences!
The cat went along the wall.
        Vocabulary adds adjectives
        to describe and changes dull
        words for interesting
        alternatives!




The fluffy ginger cat prowled
along the red brick wall.
The fluffy ginger cat prowled
along the red brick wall.
                 Connectives
                 add more detail or
                 action to the
                 sentence.

The fluffy ginger cat prowled
along the red brick wall because
he was spying on a juicy bird.
The fluffy ginger cat prowled
along the red brick wall because
he was spying on a juicy bird.
                         The Incredible Opener
                         changes the beginning of the
                         sentence to grab your reader’s
                         attention!

Whilst licking his lips, the fluffy ginger cat prowled along
the red brick wall because he was spying on a juicy bird.
Whilst licking his lips, the fluffy ginger
cat prowled along the red brick wall
because he was spying on a juicy bird.

                  Using different punctuation makes
                  an impact!



 Whilst licking his lips, the fluffy ginger
 cat (who had sharp teeth) prowled along
 the red brick wall because he was
 spying on a juicy bird!
Look at how our VCOPS skills improved the sentence


        The cat went along the wall.

Is now ...

Whilst licking his lips, the fluffy
ginger cat (who had sharp teeth)
prowled along the red brick wall
because he was spying on a juicy bird!

  What a wonderful way to improve our writing!
