Host: As an experienced secondary English teacher, I have taught GCSE and A-Level English (Language and Literature), Media Studies, Extended Project Qualification, Critical Thinking and Drama in a wide range of educational settings in London and Surrey (outstanding secondary schools, academies and a further education college). I am also been involved in motivating students through extracurricular activities inside and outside of school. Additionally, I have a certificate in Life Coaching.
A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a predicate. Every complete sentence is made up of at least one clause. In this class, students will be given an overview of how to use sentences with more than one clause in order to add depth and detail to their fiction and non-fiction. This class is aimed at students in Year 7 but is great for any student as this topic is sometimes overlooked but is necessary to succeed in writing clear and concise sentences in a grammatically correct manner.
