Try some sentences yourself by completing this activity.

 

1. Make a list of Halloween characters, actions, places, props, and mood/weather.

Note-- make a chart: Note: the words across rows do not need to match; just make lists.

 

Characters Actions Places Props Mood/Weather
witch screeches dark sky broom stormy
ghost flies haunted house oak tree candy bag
goblin sneaks bushes candy full moon
princess prances sidewalk magic wand frosty
 caption Jack Sparrow surprises porch crown creepy
.vampire .walks .yard .saggy pants foggy
.devil .gallops .yellow house .black sweat shirts

.rainy

.Gothic .sprints

.             

 

. .sowny
.scream .growls . . .
. .laughs . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .

 

 

A compound sentence combines two sentences into one using a comma and a conjunction, such as and, or , but.

 

 

Read these examples:

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom. The ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house.

 

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom, and the ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house.

 

Now reread your sentences, and turn them into compound sentences:

 

 

  A witch named Angel screeched through the dark sky ,and the goblin flies in the haunted house with his candy bag.

  Caption Jack Sparrow surprised the little chicldren by the light of the full moon,and the Gothic galloped down the sidewalkwith his saggy pants.The Princess walks with her magic wand down to the yellow house,but the vampire growls at the princess while she was walking and made her laugh. the ghost sneaks into the bushes to scare the scream person  when he sprinted by, but he just laughed when the ghost jumped out. the devil prances to get candy,and fruit on a night that was foggy.

 

 

 

 

2. Use the words from the chart to create Halloween paragraphs of compound sentences. Remember to place your comma before the conjunction, or you won't have a correctly written sentence.

 

  • Example:

 

A witch screeched across the dark sky on her broom, and the ghost flew through the windows in the haunted house. The princess screamed at the ghostly flights, but her little brother laughed. Then a goblin grabbed his bag of candy, and the princess squealed as the fog followed the goblin away. The princess and her brother scampered across the frosty lawn back towards their red brick house, and the wind forced them forward. They pushed open the front door to their house, and dad stood in the living room with a goblin mask in his hand. "Dad!" Todd exclaimed, "You fooled me again this year!"
