Answer these questions. CLICK ME Make sure to write your answers in your book.

Neither - Nor     Either - Or  (Coordinating conjunction aka FANBOYS)

During your grammar session last week, all of Year 5 were learning how to use coordinating conjunctions more appropriately. Last week we focused on: Neither-Nor, Either-Or. 
In your book, write two compound sentences for each coordinating conjunction. 
(A challenging compound sentence will require you to really think about how you want to structure it. I want to be either a doctor or scientist is a simple example.)
