Picture Clues

Worksheet Description

The Compound Sentences worksheet is a learning exercise that prompts students to create compound sentences based on simple sentences and accompanying images. Each image provides visual context that students can use to expand the given simple sentence into a compound one, incorporating an appropriate coordinating conjunction. The task not only requires students to look for clues in the pictures but also to think critically about how to logically connect the simple sentence to additional information suggested by the image.

This worksheet is teaching students how to construct compound sentences, which are made up of at least two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions. It encourages students to use different conjunctions to show various relationships between ideas, such as addition, contrast, and choice. The exercise also helps students to enhance their observational skills by using visual prompts to inform their sentence expansion. By completing this task, students are improving their ability to write with greater complexity and to understand the function of conjunctions in sentence structure.
