Welcome to HIT—How I Teach….In this episode, I explain my methods for teaching sentences and clauses (phrases will be in episode #52).
Here are some of the highlights of this episode:
- CAVES—Capital, All makes sense, Verb, End mark, Subject; how to teach students to recognize a sentence with that acronym (see my CAVES posters and reference ring cards here!)
- Independent clause vs. Dependent clause
- Sentence is independent
- Subordinate clause is dependent
- How to teach students to recognize when they have written a subordinate clause vs. when they have written a sentence
- What are subordinators
- Uses for subordinators
- How to help students memorize MANY subordinators
- The value of using check sentences and mnemonics and clues!
- How to teach the creation of complex sentences using subordinate clauses and real sentences joined legally!
- Much more!
It’s all here in this week’s HIT––where each week, I bring you tips, tricks, and techniques for teaching writing, language arts, grammar, and more (to grades two through twelve) drawing upon my 100+ curriculum books totaling over 50,000 pages.
Note: This lesson came from The Write Right Quick Kit, an upper level, teacher, parent downloadable book!
