1. A little trickier - using the skill in a more complex sentence Tricky! Using the skill in a complex sentence, with other skills GDS Non-Chronological Report Skills used in a Non-chronological report: - Topic based vocabulary - Headings and subheadings - Key facts and information - Adverbials - Parenthesis to add extra information - Relative clauses Lesson 2 In this lesson you will complete the subheadings: The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt The Tomb Hieroglyphics

2. Adverbials Recap the skills we will be using: An adverbial is a word or phrase that has been used like an adverb to add detail or further information to a verb. Interestingly, the Pyramids of Giza are sloped just slightly, one of the many magical creations of the Ancient Egyptians The adverbial interestingly has been used at the beginning of the sentence. Adverbial examples for a non chronological report Surprisingly, interestingly, clearly, in addition, as well as this, amazingly, strangely enough, Interestingly, the Pyramids of Giza are sloped just slightly, one of the many magical creations of the Ancient Egyptians - strangely this cannot be seen with the naked eye. Two examples of adverbial have been used to add detail. Parenthesis has also been used. The Pyramids are without a doubt one of the most incredible feats of man in the world. It is no surprise that they are one of the 7 wonders of the world. Two examples of adverbials have been used. One in the middle of a sentence and one as a fronted adverbial.

3. Relative clauses Recap the skills we will be using: Relative clauses add more information to a noun in a sentence. They often use relative pronouns. Who, which and that are the most common relative pronouns. The Great Pyramid, which is located in Cairo (in Egypt), is visited by millions of tourists a year. Relative clause is embedded and adds detail to the noun The Great Pyramid. From afar the Pyramids, that are positioned behind the Sphinx, seem as though they are smooth. However, they are made from large stones, which would have been hand made by the Ancient Egyptians. A relative clause is used to describe the Pyramid, and the large stones in 2 separate relative clauses. Many deserts around Egypt, ranging as far as Sharm El Sheikh, have various smaller pyramids that are designed in different ways but are not as large as the Great Pyramids. One relative clause has the pronoun omitted. There is also a relative clause at the end of a sentence.

4. Parenthesis Recap the skills we will be using: Parenthesis is a word, phrase, or clause inserted into a sentence to add extra, subordinate or clarifying information. When a parenthesis is removed, the sentence still makes sense on its own. Although the Pyramids are incredibly famous world-wide, the Sphinx (located next to the Pyramids) is also revered for its magnificent feat of engineering. Brackets have been used to add information about the pyramids. Punctuation for parenthesis - Brackets - Commas - Dashes The Great Pyramids (one of the 7 wonders of the world) are located in Giza, which is in Egypt s capital city - Cairo. Brackets have been used to add information about the Pyramids, and a dash to add further detail about the location.. The Great Pyramids are (funnily enough) shaped like a triangle based prism - they are known to preserve the bodies of mummies so well that they are still being discovered up to today! Brackets have been used to add additional information, and humour has been used to engage the reader. Also a dash has been used to add additional information.
