Great for a quick check to make sure students understand and can apply the concept.
I am happy with Teacher Thrive's Complex Sentence resource. The sentence types resources are very helpful. It is like having an assistant teacher since I don't have to create my own slides. Not to mention that the layout/design is eye-friendly. I don't get overwhelmed with colors or images, the choice of colors and design is just right. I find that presentation, and not just the content itself, plays an important role in teaching. This resource is definitely engaging but is not a sensory-overload when it comes to its presentation.
I purchased Compound Sentences together with the other types of sentences to have consistency in the style of teaching. This resource is very spot on. I love that it has enough activities for students to really learn the concept. In previous years when I didn't have this resource, students have that glazed look in their eyes. It's like once we stepped further than simple sentences, I already lost their attention. This resource is the answer to that. Students are really engaged with the sketch notes.
This resource was extremely helpful in my classroom especially in the time crunch that I placed myself in. The students seemed to enjoy this resource. Thank you!
Good for whole class introduction or review. Has to be teacher directed. Kids tend to spend lots of time coloring.

Does this source also address how colons and semi-colons play into things?
Hello! This particular unit does not differentiate between colons and semi-colons. However, this unit from the 4th-grade set does: https://teacherthrive.com/product/fourth-grade-grammar-punctuation/.
