Week 4

Module 1 Writing Activity
In your writing journal, begin to practice building sentences with adjective and adverbial clauses. As in Unit 3, you may find it helpful to be observing a scene in nature while you compose sentences. Using the lists associated with each of these types of clauses, write at least three (3) sentences including adjective clauses and three (3) sentences including adverbial clauses. Underline the adjective and adverbial clauses. Consider their function in both as a modifier and an aspect of your writing style.

We were holidaying on the pristine hills of Nainital. The guide, who was keen on taking us to a trek, the next morning, eagerly described about the breathtaking views and scenery we would come across. Rather than lazing, and waking up late, all four of us voted in favor of the trek. Whenever my daughter has to wake up early she starts going bananas. For someone who is a night bird, any early morning assignment seems like a herculean task. The team with whom we had to go, was super excited. We met at dinner, and all the discussions were centered around the next mornings trek. Nainital, after all has some of the best trekking routes of the Himalayas. Rather than accepting any other sport offered there, we thought hiking would be the best. So that we wake up fresh and bright, we turned in early. The walk up, which was to be at the Naina peak, was considered as challenging, and we seemed to be all set. I remembered those days, when I was little and dreamt of climbing mountains.I was going to realize that dream!! Cheers to that, I thought.
