This writing conventions lesson focuses on identifying compound sentences with transitions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the sentence and identify independent clauses, if any. Then, they identify the transition word or phrase and determine if it is a compound sentence. Finally, if it is a compound sentence, they write how the clauses are related. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing methods.
