1. Learning Objective Name _____________________ Today, we will use effective1 coordination to write a compound sentence. 1 successful Types of verbs Action: eat, fly, jump Mental: think, guess, believe State of being: is, be, are, was Possession: has, have CFU What are we going to do today? What does effective mean? Effective means _________. Activate (or provide) Prior Knowledge The subject is the word that names who or what does the action. A verb is a word that shows action, state of being, or possession. A simple sentence has a subject and a verb. Are these simple sentences? Why? A Orangutans eat fruit and leaves. B Orangutans only live in Indonesia and Malaysia. S V S V CFU Teacher completes sentence A, and students complete sentence B. Identify the subjects and the verbs. Students, you already know that a simple sentence has a subject and verb. When simple sentences are added together to form one longer sentence, we call those compound sentences. Today, we will use effective coordination to write compound sentences.

2. Concept Development Coordination is a way to combine2 two ideas to form a compound sentence. A compound sentence has two independent clauses. Each independent clause has a subject and a verb. • The two independent clauses are usually linked3 with a coordinating conjunction4 and are separated with a comma.

Each independent clause has a subject and a verb. • The two independent clauses are linked with a coordinating conjunction and are separated with a comma. Use effective coordination to write a compound sentence. Landslides are a movement of land, and landslides require a trigger before being released. A landslide often occurs when a slope is unstable, for heavy rains make the slope unstable. Ladybugs come in bright colors, and ladybugs inhabit most continents worldwide. Farmers love ladybugs, for ladybugs feed on plant-eating pests.

Use effective coordination to write a compound sentence. Landslides can threaten human lives, so people should evacuate immediately. Landslides occur from natural causes, or landslides occur from human activities. Tarantulas can be as small as a fingernail, or tarantulas can be as large as a dinner plate. Tarantula venom is weak, so a tarantula's bite is harmless to humans.

12. Periodic Review 1 Name _______________________ Coordination is a way to combine two ideas to form a compound sentence. A compound sentence has two independent clauses. Each independent clause has a subject and a verb. • The two independent clauses are linked with a coordinating conjunction and are separated with a comma. Use effective coordination to write a compound sentence. Most deserts are located at low latitudes, yet some deserts are located at higher latitudes. Deserts cover about one-fifth of the Earth, and they occur where rainfall is low. Deserts have little vegetation, so desert soil has lots of stored nutrients. Deserts do not have much rainfall, nor do deserts provide much shelter from the sun. Large mammals do not live in the desert, for large mammals cannot store water. Animals seek cover from the sun in burrows, or some animals find shade under desert plants.

Each independent clause has a subject and a verb. • The two independent clauses are linked with a coordinating conjunction and are separated with a comma. Use effective coordination to write a compound sentence. Tropical forests are located near the equator, and the average temperature is 77º F. Little light reaches the forest floor, for the canopy of the tropical forest is very dense. Tropical forests receive rain every day, so yearly rainfall can exceed 100 inches. Tropical forests do not receive snowfall, nor do they have a winter season. A temperate forest has four tree species per square acre, but a tropical forest has over 100 species per square acre. Tourists can visit a tropical rainforest in South America, or tourists can visit the rainforests in western Africa.

Each independent clause has a subject and a verb. • The two independent clauses are linked with a coordinating conjunction and are separated with a comma. Use effective coordination to write a compound sentence. Half of our Earth’s rainforests have been cut down, so many animals have become endangered. People help endangered animals by replanting trees, or people can raise money to spread awareness. Some chimpanzees can be aggressive, yet the endangered Bonobo is far less aggressive. The Sumatran Tiger is endangered, for only five hundred Sumatran Tigers are alive today. The endangered orangutan does not live in groups, nor does it live on the ground as do other apes. Orangutans have one baby at a time, and the baby remains with the mom until it is eight years old.
