Phew. We’ve made it. Here is the seventeenth lesson plan (of seventeen!) of the Introduction to Writing Sentences unit. This final lesson, as the header indicates, deals with avoiding run-on sentences. If you teach English, I imagine the run-on sentence is one of the bane of your existence; they were mine.
This lesson opens with this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the run-on sentence, which, obviously, is the appropriate do-now for this lesson. Here is the scaffolded worksheet on avoiding run-on sentences that is the primary work of this lesson. This learning support on the types of run-on sentences and this one on coordinating conjunctions will help students–and you–get through this lesson.
And that’s it! Seventeen posts of lessons on writing sentences conclude with this post.
