Complex sentence resources
Building complex sentences is an important skill to teach students. We recommend explicitly teaching the sentence structure, subordinating conjunctions, and building complex sentences in Mini-lessons (short skill lessons). Link the sentence building to the topic for writing and then add the skill to your success criteria in writing.
