Sentence Combining. Example Paragraph:
     Chuckie, the class clown, bounces wildy in his desk as he clucks like a chicken. His fingers make scratching sounds as they claw the battered desktop. Then a stern voice freezes his disturbing behavior. He spins around, raises his eyebrows, and asks, "Who me?"  His teacher, a very quiet woman with karate experience, appears unamused. She advances down the aisle slowly, quietly, dangerously.

Sentence Combining. Example Paragraph:
     The video begins to roll as the screen fills with the hysteria of a live, stadium concert. The young, skinny singer steps into the red spotlight. His unbuttoned shirt bares his pale chest. Sounds swirl around him: guitars, drums, and screaming girls. He nods slyly to the crowd, and winks at the drummer, who responds with a pounding beat. The singer becomes animated, and his body jerks like his legs are made of rubber. His head is thrown back, and wails a shout into the mic at his lips. His movements are frenzied and twisting. The music gets louder as the singer's voice becomes garbled and the stadium swirls with crazy sound.
