Teach and practice simple, compound, and complex sentences with this engaging lesson and movement-based activity bundle! This resource combines direct instruction with active practice to help students build confidence with sentence structure.

The included PowerPoint lesson introduces sentence types using an I Do / We Do format, allowing teachers to model sentence writing and guide students through practice using whiteboards. Students then apply what they learned in a sentence-writing scoot activity, where they move around the room responding to picture prompts and writing their own sentences on the recording sheet.

Students can challenge themselves to write simple, compound, or complex sentences at each station.

To support students during writing, teachers are encouraged to provide conjunction and subordinating conjunction bookmarks. These bookmarks give students helpful options when forming compound and complex sentences and make it easier for them to expand their ideas.
