Changing Coordinating Conjunctions

🔓 This is an unlocked sample! Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
 
 
 

Objective

Students will write sentences that start with the same phrase but include different coordinating conjunctions. Each conjunction will change how they complete their sentence.

Inspired by a text from Mike Saltz.

Steps

  1. Students practice with "and" and "yet".
  2. Next, it's "for", "but", and "so."
  3. We conclude with "or" and "nor" - which will probably require a slightly different opening phrase.
