WHY THIS LESSON?
As a student’s writing skills advance, understanding the correct way to combine sentences is valuable.
Many standardized assessments ask students for the correct way to “combine” two short sentences into one correct compound or complex sentence. Furthermore, students in grades 7 and up are expected to know how to use semicolons as one method to do this. It is a necessary skill to learn in middle school.
This lesson packet helps students accomplish that. It concentrates on compound sentences – how to combine two short, choppy sentences into one smoothly flowing compound sentence without ending up with a “run-on” sentence.
It contains clear explanations, numerous examples, and practice exercises. Special focus is put on the use of semicolons as a way to vary a student’s writing.
