This PowerPoint lesson introduces students to simple, compound, and complex sentences through clear teacher modeling and guided practice.

The slides follow an I Do / We Do structure, allowing teachers to model sentence writing first and then guide students through practice together. Students can participate by writing sentences on whiteboards while discussing how conjunctions connect ideas.

The presentation also includes basic directions for the sentence scoot activity, where students rotate around the room and write sentences based on picture prompts.

Teachers may want to provide conjunction and subordinating conjunction bookmarks so students have multiple options when forming compound and complex sentences during practice and the scoot activity.
