Dependent and Independent Clauses SMARTBOARD Pirate Theme

Students will love this interactive whiteboard/SMARTboard activity with a pirate theme. The first part of this SMARTboard lesson is an introduction to dependent and independent clauses. The second half of the lesson is an activity that allows students to practice the skill of recognizing the difference between dependent and independent clauses. Examples of how to make a dependent clause complete (independent) are given on many slides. All slides are self checking so lesson can be used as a minilesson, small group lesson or activity, distance learning, or independently in a center or station. Grades 3-7 depending on the level of the class. This lesson may be challenging for 3rd graders. This lesson is also available in PowerPoint format in my store.
