Syntax & Vocab: Formulating Compound and Complex Sentences (Valentine's Day)

This is a Valentine's Day themed word search worksheet targeting related vocabulary and formulating compound and complex sentences with coordinated and subordinating conjunctions. Worksheet intended for Middle School or High School students.

INSTRUCTIONS: Write down sentences using the words you found (PLEASE NOTE: the conjunctions are NOT in the word search), ask the students to add the conjunctions to their sentences to increase complexity.

Get as many points as you can by using all (or some) of the conjunctions. If the students write 10 sentences using all of the conjunctions a total of a 100 point possible. Let the students compete between each other getting the points for correct usage.

Alternatively, you may skip the conjunction part and have the students write down the sentences with target vocabulary on their own.
