Body
Time: 20 mins
-Have a word document with sentences on the board and the coordinating
conjunction missing so students must copy the sentences from the board while
filling in the blanks. -this also practices handwriting
-for differentiation have separate sheet for Tray, John and Angus so they dont have
to copy from the board.
-once all students are done go through the answers-get students to come up and fill
in the blanks

 Conclusions
-Look at complex sentences, difference between complex and compound
-write sentences on the board and get students to make it more complex e.g. My
mum smiled
-or if just completing the sentence is too much try putting up My mum smiled
__________ I made dinner. -filling in the blanks and then looking at how My mum
smiled is a sentence that can stand alone but when I made dinner needs to have
something before it to make sure it flows
Time: 10-15 mins
