Knowledge and Skills Statement
Composition: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts--writing process. The student uses the writing process recursively to compose multiple texts that are legible and uses appropriate conventions.
Demonstrated Proficiency of ELA.3.11.D.viii
Provide students with three teacher-created paragraphs containing errors with coordinating conjunctions. This can be done in three different activities: compound subjects, predicates, and sentences. Have students edit the paragraphs to reflect appropriate use of coordinating conjunctions.
Important Notes:
- Compound subjects and predicates with a coordinating conjunction do NOT require a comma.
- Compound sentences do require a coordinating conjunction and a comma.
Further Explanation
This SE requires students to demonstrate their understanding of how coordinating conjunctions establish the relationship among words, phrases, or independent clauses in a sentence by correctly editing a piece of writing.
