Learning Objectives On Using Conjunction

This document outlines a lesson plan to teach students about conjunctions. It will have students define conjunctions, identify different types including coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions, and explain the purpose of conjunctions. The lesson includes a direct instruction portion where key terms are discussed. Students will then complete guided practice identifying conjunctions in examples and writing their own sentences. Finally, students will participate in an activity where they work in groups based on conjunctions to write a short story using fill-in-the-blank sentences.

 identify different types of conjunctions
 list conjunctions within each category
 explain the purpose of conjunctions

Materials

 A piece of chart paper for each type of conjunction. Hang the labeled pieces of paper in
different parts of the room.

Key Vocabulary
 conjunction
 coordinating conjunction
 subordinating conjunction

audience, and task.

Instructions

Connect Students to Learning


 Write a few conjunctions on the board. Ask students to discuss what the words have in common with a
seat partner, then share answers as a class.
Direct Instruction
 Read the Study.com lesson Conjunction: Definition & Writing Examples with your students.
 As you read, emphasize key terms.
 After reading the 'Definition' section, create a chart listing the types of conjunctions, as well as the
definition and examples for each. Include acronyms or other methods of recall. Discuss similarities
and differences.
 Ask:
o What can coordinating conjunctions join?
o Where are subordinating conjunctions found? What is their job?
o How are various conjunctions similar and different?
o Which conjunctions are used most often?
o What would happen if we didn't have conjunctions?

Guided Practice
 With students, review the 'Examples' section of the lesson and the summary.
 Create a flower petal graphic organizer on the board, and instruct students to draw one in their
notebooks. The center of the flower should contain one type of conjunction and definition, and the
petals should contain examples of that type of conjunction. Erase and repeat the process to create a
different flower petal graphic organizer for each type of conjunction.
 Ask each student to write a sample sentence using the proper conjunction under each flower in their
notebooks. Have students share some of their sentences and check for understanding.

Activity
 Give each student a piece of paper with a different conjunction written on it. Direct your students to
go stand by the chart paper in the room with the correct label.
 Once assembled, have students work as a group to create an original short story using all conjunctions
on their strips.
 Direct students to work in their notebooks first, then transfer the story to chart paper, leaving the
conjunction blank and making a word bank at the bottom of the page.
 Have students present their fill-in-the-blank conjunction stories, working as a class to find answers.

Extensions
 Have students develop their own acronyms to help recall conjunctions. Share with the class.
 Using an online application, allow students to create word bombs (a search for 'word bombs' will
reveal many different games). Compare how often different types of conjunctions are found in text.
