Simple, compound, complex sentences lesson KS3

A clear, very visual PPT based lesson that runs through simple, compound, and complex sentences with rules and examples.
Starter: Two simple sentences, one compound sentence on the board - which is the odd one out? why? what are we learning today?
Then start PPT and run through rules and examples.
Students are then given the pockets activity; students stick down the ‘pockets’ on the dotted lines so they are left with a flap. They then sort the sentence cards into the correct pocket; you may wish to adapt the level of difficulty for your class as they are slightly challenging.
Studnets who finsih early are encouraged to write their own examples for each category on the front of the pocket.
The answers are on the PowerPoint and animated so that students have a chance to guess at the correct answer on mini white boards once they’ve completed the activity.
The PowerPoint then continues with the next lesson on clauses, with activities on the PowerPoint.
