About This Lesson
There are many ways to structure a sentence, but not all of them will be equally effective. Syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to make meaningful, well-formed sentences. By paying attention to where and how information is placed into sentences, readers will be able to interpret syntax and gain a better understanding of what the text is saying.
In this playlist, students will learn how to:
- Identify techniques for varying the syntax in sentences.
- Analyze the effects of varied syntax in complex texts.
- Write sentences with varied syntax for effect.
