ENGAGEMENT Activity: Sentence Puzzle

1. The teacher distributes strips

containing sentence fragments.
 2. Learners will match two
fragments to form a logical
compound sentence that shows
cause and effect.
3. The teacher facilitates a
discussion by asking:

 What do these sentences

express?
 What words connect the two
ideas?
 What happens if we remove
these words?

effect.
2. Learners read the passage
aloud.
3. In pairs, they identify compound
sentences and underline the
coordinating conjunctions.
4. Groups share their answers, and
the teacher confirms and
explains.
C Explain Definition of a Compound Sentence:
.
A compound sentence consists of at
least two independent clauses joined by
a coordinating conjunction or a
semicolon. Each clause can stand alone
as a complete sentence.

Example: "I wanted to go for a walk, but

it started to rain."

Common Conjunctions Used to

Express Cause and Effect:

For: Presents a reason or explanation.

Example: "She was tired, for she had

been working all day."

So: Indicates a result or consequence.

Example: "He studied diligently, so he

passed the exam."

Therefore: Shows a logical conclusion

or result.

Example: "The weather was

unfavorable; therefore, the event was
postponed."

 Examples of Compound
Sentences:

1. "The team trained hard,

so they won the
championship."
2. "She didn't feel well, yet
she attended the
meeting."
3. "He enjoys reading
novels, and he writes
short stories."

Learners Answer Comprehension

Questions Related to the Sample
Passage:

 Sample Passage: "The city

 council implemented new traffic
regulations, for there were
numerous accidents at the
intersection."

Comprehension Questions:

1. Identify the independent clauses in

the sentence.

 The city council implemented

new traffic regulations
 There were numerous accidents
at the intersection

2. What coordinating conjunction is

used, and what relationship does it
indicate?

 The conjunction "for" is used,

indicating a reason or cause.
 Rewrite the sentence using
"therefore" instead of "for."
 "There were numerous
accidents at the intersection;
therefore, the city council
implemented new traffic
regulations."

3. Teacher Asks Guiding Questions to

Reinforce Understanding:

 What is the purpose of using

coordinating conjunctions?

Coordinating conjunctions
connect words, phrases, or
independent clauses of equal
importance, creating a
relationship between them.
They help in forming compound
sentences, allowing writers to
combine related ideas and
convey complex thoughts
effectively.

 How do these words affect the

 meaning of the sentence?

Coordinating conjunctions
clarify the relationship between
connected clauses, indicating
how ideas are related.

By selecting appropriate
coordinating conjunctions,
writers can precisely convey the
intended relationship between
ideas, enhancing the clarity and
coherence of their writing.
D Elaboration Activity: "Cause-and-Effect Chain"
.
Directions:

1. "Cause-and-Effect Chain" to
Each group is given a starting
sentence (e.g., "Many people
burn forests, so...").
2. Groups will extend the sentence
by adding another cause-and-
effect statement, creating a
chain reaction.

3. They will present their the class,

explaining the connections
between ideas.

IV.GENERALIZA A compound sentence is made up of

 TIONS two independent clauses joined by a
coordinating conjunction, such as so,
for, and therefore, to express a cause-
and-effect relationship. These
conjunctions help link ideas logically,
showing how one event leads to
another.

For example:

 The streets were flooded, for it

rained heavily all night.
 Ana studied diligently, so she
passed the exam with high
marks.
 Factories emit too much smoke;
therefore, air pollution has
increased.

By using compound sentences, we can

create clearer and more connected
thoughts in both speaking and writing.
This skill helps in effective
communication, allowing us to explain
reasons and results more logically in
everyday conversations, academic
discussions, and written texts.
