Subordinating Conjuctions -- Pass-Along Story
Subordinating Conjunctions Activity (You need a piece of lined paper and the yellow conjunctions paper.)
Write part of a story that will end up using all of the subordinating
conjunctions: A WHITE BUS
This is a continued story in which one person begins the
story with a sentence or part of a sentence that contains a subordinating
conjunction, then passes the story to the next person to be continued with
another sentence or part of a sentence that contains a subordinating
conjunction.
Each person will begin a story. Put your name by what you write.
Pass the paper back. Each time you write, you will use one of the subordinating conjunctions.
Use the subordinating conjunctions in "A WHITE BUS" order.
Example:
After the last
school dance
(next student) while the
students still lingered in the gymnasium, Jill fell in love with Jack.
(next student) However, Jack was
already in love with Mary
(next student) and wanted to go steady with her if she would agree.
(next student) Jack had noticed that Mary had been kinder to him than Jill had ever been,
(next student) even though he
had known Jill longer.
(next student) Before the
evening was through, Jill told
Jack that she would never talk to him again
(next student) unless he told Mary to leave him alone.
(next student) Since Jack loved
Mary, he told Jill that very thing. 2. Quiet working time: Stand Tall and packets, learning parts of speech, literary letters.

A preposition begins a prepositional phrase.
A prepositional phrase usually has the preposition, an article and maybe one or more adjectives, and a noun.
Examples: in the box over the rainbow at the farm
from my mom behind the old shed on the last train
These nine prepositions do 92% of the work of prepositions: (Memorize them.)
