Exploring Conjunctions and Plastic Surgery: A Classroom Activity

In this engaging lesson, students review the article on Kanye West and discuss the implications of plastic surgery, which his mother underwent. Through the concept of FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So) and the use of semicolons, students will create sentences that reflect their understanding of conjunctions. They will engage in outline and paragraph writing, addressing whether plastic surgery should be banned while incorporating conjunctions appropriately. This activity fosters critical thinking on a contemporary issue alongside grammatical skills.
