Coordinating Conjunctions
In this Turtle Diary lesson, students learn about coordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect two sentences that are equally important but can be used independently. The list of coordinating conjunctions include: for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so. During the lesson, students hear audible instruction at the same time the material appears on screen. In step one, the children sees two sentences. In the second step, the two sentences are shown as one with the coordinating conjunction. The lesson is short and to the point and explained in clear language easily understood. Simple sentences are combined with one of the seven coordinating conjunctions.
What Are Coordinating Conjunctions?
What are some examples?
| For | She was amazed at its beauty, for she had never before seen solid gold jewelry. |
| And | I plan to jump rope first, and then I’m going to run a mile. |
| Nor | I’ve never climbed a mountain, nor have I ever swam across a river. |
| But | I really want to go to an amusement park, but there aren’t any where I live. |
| Or | He couldn’t decide whether to make cookies or a cake. |
| Yet | The dog hates baths, yet he continues to romp in the mud. |
| So | I earned $15 mowing lawns, so I can finally afford the toy I want. |
QUICK TIP!
The key to FANBOYS is that you must use a comma before each when they link two independent clauses.
