Teach or review high school grammar, sentence structure, and sentence variety, including phrases and clauses, with this detailed and easy-to-use sentence structure activities and reference sheet. Students will refer to this reference sheet as they go on a “scavenger hunt” for simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences, as well as seven different types of phrases. Writing style checklist and writing reflection are included, as well!
Helpful Tip: This is the perfect go-to resource that can be used all year long for any writing assessment! I print this on heavy, bright card stock and introduce it while students are working on their first writing assessment. Students keep their reference sheets in their folders and use them over and over again!
