Writing Mini-Lesson Starring the FANBOYS Review with students the purpose of the FANBOYS. -Join compound sentences patterns: two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction Coordinating Conjunctions-AKA FANBOYS!!! FOR The Problem Finder Connects a problem with a solution. AND The Matchmaker Connects two ideas that go together. NOR Mr. Negative Negative form of or. BUT King Conflict Connects two ideas that go against each another. OR The Decision-Maker Connects two choices. YET But’s Evil Twin Brother Connects two ideas that go against each other. SO The Problem-Solver Connects a problem with a result. After reviewing this with students, have them find examples of compound sentences using this pattern in the literature being studied. These sentences will serve as mentor sentences. Once students understand the concept, have them write their own examples following the pattern of their mentor sentences. Resources Anderson, Jeff.
