Portfolio preparation: Sentence structure

Analyse the sentence structures you used in the documents you’ve been working with through this module. Do you have some examples of branching sentences – sentences with dependent clauses?

Decide whether you’ve used branching appropriately or excessively. Revise any sentences that use excessive branching to demonstrate appropriate use of dependent clauses.

Document all your sample sentences and revisions for inclusion in your Assignment 1 portfolio.

We encourage you to find as many examples as you can of this concept in your sample documents. When you assemble your assignment portfolio, you will choose one or two of the examples to send to your tutor for feedback.
