Instructional Ideas

• Assign for homework after a lesson on conjunctions
• For higher-level readers, see if they can identify the types of words and phrases that are connected by the conjunctions (independent clauses or singular nouns)

Classroom Considerations

• Doesn't include nor or yet, but still folds well into a lesson on FANBOYS
• Learners should be familiar with the idea that conjunctions are considered sentence glue
• Much of the worksheet is in color; printing in black and white may obscure some text

Pros

• Answer key clearly notes both conjunctions and connected words

Cons

• None
