Read the article “Sentence Variety” (Links to an external site.) and then write a response that discusses the importance of using sentence variety when writing:
- Find an example of a simple sentence in your rough draft.
- Explain why a simple sentence was most effective in this case, or explain why it might need to be changed to a different sentence type.
- Look at the sentences before and after. Are they both simple sentences as well? If so, does sentence variety need to be addressed here? Why or why not?
- Find an example of a complex sentence in your rough draft.
- Explain why a complex sentence was most effective in this case, or explain why it might need to be changed to a different sentence type.
- Look at the sentences before and after. Are they both complex sentences as well? If so, does sentence variety need to be addressed here? Why or why not?
- Find an example of a compound sentence in your rough draft.
- Explain why a compound sentence was most effective in this case, or explain why it might need to be changed to a different sentence type.
- Look at the sentences before and after. Are they both compound sentences as well? If so, does sentence variety need to be addressed here? Why or why not?
- Check all three sentences to see if they are correctly punctuated, and if not, address what changes need to be made and why.
