KS2 grammar using commas in sentences - explore compound sentences
This lesson is lesson 2 / 5 where children will explore what a compound sentence is.
I used superhero cartoon to represent the main clause which you can input your own. I had children create the character I then inputed it into the slides.
This pp defines what a compound sentence is, spotting them and which coordinating conjunction should be used when and when and where to use the comma.
I had great results with these lessons and it really improved and helped students punctuation.

KS2 English grammar starter lessons - commas for complex sentences
Here is a group of 5 lessons to help and show children how to use commas in complex sentences.
I have used these for lessons in both year 5 (main grammar starters and year 6 (as revision starters).
Each lesson comes with an LO and a small task, which can be done on white boards or in books.
These lessons follow one after the other using recall to help cement knowledge.
Brief LO for each PP:
1st lesson - explore simple sentences (main clauses)
2nd lesson - commas for compound sentences
3rd lesson - continue commas for compound sentences
4th lesson - explore complex sentences (subordinate clause)
5th lesson - complex sentences (write subordinate clauses)
I had a super hero represent the main clause (Captain Main Clause).
And another super hero side kick to represent the subordinate clause.
I held a little art homework or extra activity for children to design and draw me a super hero for English.
You could do this too or use one from online.
Just replace the boxes representing the characters with your own.
