Description: This combining sentences deck helps students build stronger writing skills by learning how to connect ideas using dependent clauses and subordinate clauses. With guided support, students transform two simple thoughts into complex sentences, improving both clarity and flow. The deck includes 50 cards: 10 multiple-choice prompts that reinforce sentence structure at the start of the lesson, followed by 40 open-ended prompts to encourage independent application. Early practice includes scaffolded hints such as conjunctions like "since," "after," or "while." Gradually, students progress to forming sentences without support. These engaging activities prepare students for academic writing and include complex sentences examples throughout.
