Standard 6.Connecting Ideas
44

- Level Emerging: Combine clauses in a few basic ways
(e.g., creating compound sentences
using and, but,so; creating complex
sentences using because)to make
connections between and to join ideas
(e.g., I want to read this book because
it describes the solar system.).
- Level Expanding: Combine clauses in a growing number
of ways to create compound and
complex sentences that make
connections between and link concrete
and abstract ideas,for example,to
express a reason (e.g.,He stayed at
home on Sunday in order to study for
Monday’s exam) or to make a
concession (e.g., She studied all night
even though she wasn't feeling well.).
- Level Bridging: Combine clauses in a variety of ways to
create compound and complex
sentences that make connections
between and link concrete and
abstract ideas,for example,to make a
concession (e.g.,While both characters
strive for success,they each take
different approaches through which to
reach their goals.), or to establish
cause (e.g.,Women’s lives were
changed forever after World War II as
a result of joining the work force.).
