Grammar Warm Up
LC: to identify a causal conjunction and its function in a sentence
Causal conjunctions are connecting words that explain the outcome/result of an action or event, adding more detail to a sentence.
They give a reason or explain why something happened.
She was late for school because her alarm did not go off.
The word because shows the cause of her being late (because her alarm didn't go off).
The word because is a causal conjunction.
Example:
He is sad because the school holidays are nearly over.
Read these sentences and circle the causal conjunction.
1. I took my umbrella because it was raining.
2. I got into trouble at school. As a result, I wasn't allowed to go to my friend's party.
3. My cousin was ill so she missed the party.
4. The plant had now water or light, therefore it died.

Moral Responsibility
LC: Understand the importance of having compassion towards others and how to show care and concern for them.
What is compassion? How can we show it to others? Why is this important?
In this video, we learned that compassion is when you SEE someone in need, CARE about their feelings, and DO something to show you care.
Who in this story needed compassion? Why do you think they needed it? What did David do when he saw that Tye needed compassion?
Turn and talk to a partner - if you had a friend who was upset like Tye, what would you do to show them compassion?
Can you think of a time when you helped someone in need? How did you show them compassion?
You will work in groups and I will allocate each group to a scenario card. Your task is to create a role play from your scenario card.
Remember to include all the elements of compassion that you have just learned about - seeing someone in need, caring about them, and doing something about it.
