These explicit teaching slides cover what a subordinating conjunction is, how it joins an independent clause to a dependent clause to form a complex sentence, and when to use a comma. The I SAW A WABUB acronym is introduced as a memory tool, with a dedicated slide for each conjunction explaining its function and modelling it in context.
19 practice slides are included, giving students the opportunity to apply their learning in a structured I Do, We Do, You Do sequence.
