• Note: For sentence practice with 
coordinators, see Chapter 9, pages 176–178.

review the seven coordinating conjunctions. 
(Note: To help students remember, you may 
want to present the acronym FANBOYS—
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.) Otherwise, 
read the explanation and examples aloud, or 
have students read them.
• On the board, write a compound sentence 
with a coordinating conjunction, a 
compound sentence with correlative 
conjunctions, and a simple sentence with 
two connected words or phrases. Have 
students tell you where to insert commas. 
• Have students briefl y look over the 
sections on coordinators and correlative 
conjunctions in Appendix B, page 291.

• For sentence practice with subordinators, 
see Chapter 9 on complex sentences, 
pages 182–183; see also Chapter 12 on 
adverb clauses.
• If students have read this section at home, 
write a complex sentence on the board and 
have students identify the dependent clause, 
independent clause, and subordinator. 
Elicit the rule for using a comma in such 
sentences. Otherwise, read the section 
aloud, or have students do so. 
• Have students briefl y look over the 
sections on subordinators in Appendix B,

Other Signals 
(page 35)
• If students have not read this section at 
home, read it aloud, or have them do so. 
• Have students look back at the chart on 
page 33. Help them notice that the items 
in the Other Signals column are followed 
by nouns. Elicit a few examples and write 
them on the board. Point out that these 
signals are not followed by commas.
• Read the directions for Practice 8. Have 
students read the paragraph silently and 
mark it. Then have them compare answers 
with a partner or in a small group. (Note: 
If you assigned this activity prior to class, 
begin by going over the answers.)
• Read the directions for Practice 9, Parts 
A and B. Have students complete the 
exercises alone or with a partner. Go over 
the answers with the class. 
• Read the directions for the Try It Out! 
activity and the Writing Tip aloud. Have 
students choose a topic and write their 
paragraphs at home. Collect the papers and 
check them for proper selection and use of 
transition signals.
