What are we going to do today?

What does effective mean? Effective means ______.

Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge

The subject is the word that names who or what does the action.

A verb is a word that shows action, state of being, or possession.

A simple sentence has a subject and a verb.

Are these simple sentences? Why?

A Orangutans eat fruit and leaves.

B Orangutans only live in Indonesia and Malaysia.

CFU

Teacher completes sentence A, and students complete sentence B. Identify the subjects and the verbs. Students, you already know that a simple sentence has a subject and verb. When simple sentences are added together to form one longer sentence, we call those compound sentences. Today, we will use effective coordination to write compound sentences.


Concept Development

Coordination is a way to combine2 two ideas to form a compound

sentence.

A compound sentence has two independent clauses.

Each independent clause has a subject and a verb.

• The two independent clauses are usually linked3 with a coordinating conjunction4 and are

separated with a comma.

• The coordinating conjunction shows a relationship5 between

two clauses.

Examples:

Coordinating Conjunctions and their Relationships (FANBOYS)
Relationship / Example
Cause
(shows why things happen) /
Bears stand upright, for bears are flat-footed.
Addition
(more information

Bears eat meat, and bears eat plants.
Negative Statements
(will not, does not) /
Brown bears will not wake up to eat, nor will they wake up to give birth.
Difference/Contrast / Most animals walk on their toes, but bears walk flat-footed like humans.
Choice /
Bears can walk on all fours, or bears can walk on their hind legs.
Result
(shows an effect) /
Food is scarce in the winter, so bears hibernate.

Not examples of compound sentences: Bears and humans walk flat-footed. Bears eat meat and plants.

CFU

What is the difference between cause and addition? The difference between cause and addition is _____.

What is the difference between negative and contrast? The difference between negative and contrast is _____.

What is the difference between choice and result? The difference between choice and result is ______.

Which sentence is a compound sentence? How do you know? What is the type of relationship? Explain.

A Dolphins live in the ocean, but dolphins are not fish.

B Although dolphins live in the ocean, dolphins are not fish.

In your own words, what is a compound sentence? A compound sentence is ______.


Concept Development (clarification)

Coordination is a way to combine two ideas to form a compound

sentence.

A compound sentence has two independent clauses.

Each independent clause has a subject and a verb.

• The two independent clauses are linked with a coordinating conjunction

and are separated with a comma.

• The coordinating conjunction shows a relationship between two sentences.

Coordinating Conjunctions and (Relationships) – FANBOYS

Bears stand upright. Bears are flat-footed.
Compound sentence:
