In this Year 6 Identifying Clauses Application, children are challenged to rewrite a paragraph so that it includes at least five different subordinate clauses. The paragraph provided allows children to focus on using subordinate clauses without having to focus on the context of the paragraph. A model answer has been provided to aid your marking, or this model answer could also be used as a model text to analyse the use of subordinate clauses.
