Integration
Focus:
What is the reason for integrating these disciplines?
|
|
Dependent clauses are full of potential energy while Independent clauses are kinetic energy. Students will be able to feel the difference as they pair movements to their clause poems, therefore making identification of both clauses easier in their reading.
