Semi colons and adverbial conjunctions

This resource teaches the children how to use the adverbial conjunctions ‘consequently’, ‘therefore’ and ‘as a result’ to show an ‘expected’ result, and ‘however’ and ‘nevertheless’ to show an ‘unexpected’ result. It then teaches the children how to use these adverbial conjunctions to join two main clauses punctuated correctly with a semi colon and a comma. The challenge asks the children to choose the most appropriate adverbial conjunction based on the content of the two main clauses.
