English Language Arts
- Olivia has learned how to recognize run-on sentences, understanding that it involves joining two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation.
- She has learned how to identify the subjects and verbs in each independent clause to help identify run-on sentences.
- Olivia has practiced using coordinating conjunctions such as 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' to join independent clauses and create grammatically correct sentences.
- She has been able to fix run-on sentences by using appropriate punctuation and conjunctions to separate clauses or by creating separate sentences.
For continued development, it could be beneficial to encourage Olivia to write her own short stories or journal entries and then revise them for run-on sentences. Additionally, providing her with exercises that incorporate dialogues with multiple characters can help reinforce the use of punctuation and conjunctions to avoid run-ons.
