Subordinating Conjunctions and Complex Sentences Exit Tickets
A multi-day set of exit tickets with a short mini-lesson for each day, designed to build 12th graders' ability to identify subordinating conjunctions, dependent clauses, and complex sentences. Each exit ticket checks for understanding before students leave class, and the lessons focus on clause structure and comma placement.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use the mini-lesson at the start of class (about 10 to 15 minutes), then have students complete the exit ticket in the last 5 to 10 minutes as a quick formative check.
- Discussion question: Why does a comma follow a dependent clause that comes first but usually not when the independent clause comes first?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a word bank of common subordinating conjunctions (although, because, while, unless, since) and have them underline the subject and verb in each clause before classifying the sentence.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to rewrite a set of simple sentences into complex sentences using three different subordinating conjunctions, then explain how each choice changes the relationship between the ideas.
- Estimated time: Roughly 15 minutes for the mini-lesson and 5 to 10 minutes for the exit ticket each day.
