Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge
A verb is a word that shows action, state of being, or possession.
The subject is the word that names who or what does the action.
A simple sentence has a subject and a verb.

B The Giant Clam feeds on plant and animal matter.
CFU
Teacher completes sentence A; students complete sentence B. Identify the subjects and the verbs. Students, you already know that a
simple sentence has a subject and verb. Today, we will call a simple sentence an independent clause. We use independent clauses with
subordinating conjunctions to make complex sentences. Today, we will use effective subordination to write a complex sentence.

6th Grade Writing Conventions 1.1 (4Q)
Use simple, compound, and compound-complex sentences; use effective coordination and
subordination of ideas to express complete thoughts.
Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only.
Concept Development
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.
• The independent clause has a subject and a verb .
• The dependent clause has a subject, a verb, a subordinating conjunction , and it cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Types of verbs
The subordinating conjunction shows a relationship2 between the two clauses.

Action:
eat, fly, jump
• If the dependent clause comes first, a comma is inserted between the clauses.
Mental: think, guess, believe
• If the dependent clause comes second, no comma is needed.

Not an example of a complex sentence: In the backyard, the dog barked and howled.
CFU What is the difference between an independent clause and a dependent clause? What is the difference between the Time and Cause
& Effect relationships? Explain.
How does the example sentence for ‘condition’ show the relationship? Explain. Why does “The fish in the lake will die unless we stop
polluting the water.” not have a comma?
Which sentence shows the correct relationship? Explain.
A Although dolphins live in the ocean, dolphins are not fish.
B In recent years, scientists have discovered that dolphins can communicate with each other.
