Curriculum

These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: Use conjunctions (when, before, after, while, so, because), adverbs (then, next, soon, therefore) and prepositions (before, after, during, in, because of) to express time, place and cause within and across sentences

  Short composition opportunity; some canonical example labels are imprecise, so because is explicitly taught as cause, not time.

• partial: Use time conjunctions to connect clauses (e.g., 'We went inside because it was raining', 'After the bell rang, we lined up')

  Short composition opportunity; some canonical example labels are imprecise, so because is explicitly taught as cause, not time.

• partial: Use adverbs of time and cause within sentences (e.g., 'First, she opened the door. Then, she stepped outside. Therefore, she got wet.')

• partial: Use prepositions of time and cause in phrases (e.g., 'during the lesson', 'before lunch', 'because of the rain')

  Short composition opportunity; some canonical example labels are imprecise, so because is explicitly taught as cause, not time.

• partial: When {{name}} writes a story, do they use time words like "after", "while", or "soon" to show the order things happened — rather than starting every sentence with "then"?
