Lesson Procedure:
This activity will push students to see and define the distinctions between the 3 compound types we have been studying.
First, discuss the qualities of a sentence including a compound subject. This is a sentence that has two or more subject nouns.
Next discuss the qualities of a sentence including a compound predicate.
- These are sentences with two or more verbs (e.g., “…take off and arrive 2 hours later.”)
- two or more “has” predicate nouns (e.g., “…has earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.”)
- or two or more describing predicate adjectives (e.g., “…tall, dark, and handsome.”)
Finally, discuss the qualities of a compound sentence. This is a sentence that combines two complete sentences each with distinct subjects and predicates.
The video below will provide examples of each for context. Review them all and as you do, point out the qualities we have outlined above.
Once you are sure everyone is ready to go, ask students to review the following examples. We have provided freeze frames in the activity sheets to make the analysis easier. Do the first one together and then have students take turns labeling each example. Discuss your answers and be sure that everyone understands the criteria!
