This writing conventions lesson focuses on identifying compound sentences. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the sentences and identify independent clauses, if any. Then, they label the subject, verb, and coordinating conjunction, if any. If it is a compound sentence, they write the relationship between the two clauses. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing methods.
