FANBOY (glue words): for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
Discuss with your group what you notice about what is happening in the sentences (pay close attention to the FANBOYS)
As a group, come up with a rule for writing sentences (that applies to Coordinating Conjunctions) and write it down UNDER the sentences.
1.I am late, but I still want to play.
2.Sam ate the entire sandwich, and I watched him do it.
3.You were rude, so they will not speak to you.
*Sentence starter: When writing sentences containing coordinating conjunctions always make sure…
Coordinating conjunctions can be used to join two words, two phrases, or two sentences. They are also used when listing a series of items-between the last two items in a series.
When coordinating conjunctions are used to separate two complete sentences, a comma must come before the conjunction.
When a coordinating conjunction is used to show that something has two characteristics that seem opposite, a comma is often used as well.
