Activity 5 is explicitly titled "Correlative Conjunctions" and provides a definition with examples (either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also). Students are asked to complete a Student Activity Page that has five sentences in which they must underline the correlative conjunctions and answer follow-up questions about what the conjunctions join. The lesson also includes an explicit note about subject-verb agreement with correlative conjunctions and an exercise that asks students to choose the correct verb form in a sentence using either/or.

The rules section explicitly addresses subjects connected by "or" and gives the example sentence, "Either my sister or my brother volunteers at the library each week," which uses the correlative either/or. Several practice items require students to choose verbs or complete sentences with subjects joined by or (e.g., Part A #4: "Timothy's mother or father _____ looking for him." and Part B #4: "Staying on the raft or going on the island ____."). The review directs students to find sentences with singular and plural subjects and verbs, including those joined by or.

The Parent Plan includes the instruction "Select either Option 1 or Option 2 for your child," which contains a correlative conjunction (either/or). No student-facing task asks students to identify, produce, or practice correlative conjunctions, and none of the activities (character drawings, questions for Lucy, survival/seasons) prompt use of either/or or neither/nor.

The Getting Started prompt explicitly uses a correlative conjunction: it asks students to persuade people to "either move to California or not move there." The persuasive writing tasks require students to state positions and opposing viewpoints, which creates natural opportunities to use correlative conjunctions in composing sentences.
