12.12 - Using Compound Sentences and Transitional Phrases

We started class today with the set 9 roots and prefixes quiz. Following this quiz we reviewed answer to the compound sentence activity sheet that people completed in class yesterday.

I then handed out a paper that looks at when and how to use different types of transitional phrases to help ideas flow together. Everyone then had some practice in using these transitional phrases and compound sentences to help writing flow together by revising responses people submitted regarding why their Poetry Out Loud poem was worth knowing.
