This writing conventions lesson focuses on using coordination to indicate relationships between ideas. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the sentences and identify the correct relationships between a pair of sentences. Then, they determine the correct coordinating conjunction to use and combine the sentences properly, using coordination to indicate the relationship between ideas. In addition to the lesson, there are six pages of Independent Practice and review modeled on current adaptive testing methods.
