ELA CLAUSES Dependent & Independent PowerPoint PPT Prep for Complex Sentences!

Before trying to teach my 5th graders simple, complex, and compound sentences, I first teach them independent and dependent clauses using this PowerPoint presentation. Since a complex sentence combines a dependent clause with an independent clause, this overview is very helpful. The full, 10-slide presentation includes:
1) an overview of independent clauses;
2) an overview of dependent clauses;
3) an overview of dependent markers;
4) an overview of how to punctuate both clauses;
5) practice identifying clauses and markers (with answers);
6) a pop quiz to apply what was learned throughout the presentation and to check for understanding (with answers).

Other purchase options:

1) I am posting individual practice activities (worksheets) for this concept for purchase separately in my listings ($1.50 each).

2) I am also posting a formative assessment (test) for purchase in my listings ($1.50).

OR

3) You can purchase a bundle of this PowerPoint, all practice activities, AND the assessment ($7.00).

4) If you already have the PowerPoint, you can purchase the activities and assessment bundled without the PPT ($5.00).

Enjoy!
