1. Pass out the first template. You'll fold this and write notes inside it. See the second template for the notes inside the template.
First Template
Second Template(notes)
2. Cut out the first template and folding it as shown in the first picture below. Note that the subordinating conjunction tab is folded inward under the dependent clauses tab.
3. Flip it over so that you have what's shown in the second photo below.
4. Begin copying the notes from the completed note diagram (second template(notes)). Note that you're writing the notes on top of these tabs, between the tabs, and under the tabs. Outline Independent Clause box in blue; Dependent Clause box in pink; and Subordinating Conjunctions in green.
5. Continue writing notes on the template. See the photos below for additional clarity.
Activity 2 - p. 19
1. Each of these is an independent clause so outline the clauses already written in blue.
2. Write a dependent clause to go with each independent clause. Use the list of subordinating conjunctions to help you. Then, outline the ones you wrote in pink since they are all dependent clauses.
3. Cut out the table and fold it inward on the dotted line. Glue the left side down so that the right side swings open to the right.
4. Circle the coordinating conjunctions in purple.
