Directions: The teacher will provide a poem that
consists of subordinating conjunctions. The students
will practice it in groups to prepare for a group poem
recital. Students can incorporate actions or body
gestures to enhance the presentation of the poem. The
twist here is that each student group will compose
one additional stanza for the ending, incorporating
subordinating conjunctions that express time,
condition, and contrast.
