SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
RESOURCES:
- Whiteboard.
- Pencils.
- Worksheet.
- Notebooks.
ACTIVITIES:
5 mins intro.
You can take to simple sentences and join them with a conjunction.
Examples of conjunctions are:
- and
- or
- but
- so
- because
Explain there are three types of sentences. These types are called simple,
compound, and complex. Good writers vary the type of sentences they use to
make their stories more interesting and smooth. Before explaining what the three
types of sentences are, define an independent clause and a dependent clause.
An independent clause has a subject, verb, and a complete thought. A dependent
clause has a subject and a verb, but does not have a complete thought. A simple
sentence has one independent clause. It has a subject and a verb. It expresses
a complete thought. Here are some examples: Todd took the bus to school. Mr.
Anderson is very tired this morning. Lisa and Bobby will like the next American
Idol episode.
15 mins individual practise.
5 conclusion.
Ask students to identify each one as simple, compound, or complex. And copy
them on their notebooks.
When they’ve finished the exercise, ask them to write a paragraph about what
they did last weekend, using at least one of each type of the three sentences.
