Overview:

In this classroom resource, students will learn about fragments. A fragment is only a piece of a complete thought that has been punctuated like a sentence. Fragments can be phrases or dependent clauses or any incomplete word group. We often think in fragments and use them when we speak, but they are not appropriate in formal writing. This resource offers videos, games, and worksheets to help further understand the concept.
