6th Grade ELA Bell Ringers — Week 10
Five short warm-ups for 6th grade ELA: joining ideas without creating a run-on. 20 items with a full answer key — one focused task a day, five to ten minutes at the start of the lesson.
What is in this week
Sentence Combining — joining ideas without creating a run-on. Every day is one focused task, four items, with the rule printed at the top of the page.
- Monday — Combine with and, but or so.
- Tuesday — Combine using a subordinating word.
- Wednesday — Combine by moving a describing phrase.
- Thursday — Cut the repeated words.
- Friday — Which word does the modifier describe?
How to use it
Print the packet once and hand out one page a day, or project it. Students can start before the lesson begins because the rule they need is on the page. Friday returns to week 9, so a Friday dip points at the earlier skill rather than this week’s. Mark them together on the board; these are a warm-up, not something to collect.
