Better Lesson: Speaking, Listening and Writing Compound Contrasting Sentences

Curated by ACT

Students will be answering text-dependent questions in which they will have to describe the differences between the different characters, settings, and major events in our stories using complex contrasting sentences. The students will first speak a compound sentence (as they contrast the two stories) by using a connecting word or conjunction and then they will write their sentence. Materials, printables, and video demonstrations are provided.
