Before a coordinating conjunction joining two sentences:

- Continuing on from trying to learn about the first two World Wars and the events of slavery, our teacher would use a globe to physically use and a map projected at the screen to visually analyze. 

Introductory phrase:

- Teaching a child about directions isn't the easiest thing someone can do

Use with coordinate adjectives:
- My teacher described Never Ever Smoke Weed as an easy, memorable acrostic for children.

Adjective clause:
-  So long as the device is simple, it’ll not only become easier to understand, but easier to remember as well.

Appositive:
- My middle school teacher, who teaches Geography, uses the acrostic Never Ever Smoke Weed to help her students better memorize their directions.

Parenthetical Expression:
- Never Ever Smoke Weed, as my teacher noticed, works to help children better memorize their cardinal directions while still being self aware about drugs such as weed.  

Absolute phrase:
-  Sharing the acrostic Never Ever Smoke Weed was helpful to the class, it's simplicity is what makes it easier for kids to remember the device.

Words expressing contrast:
- Unlike other devices, Never Ever Smoke Weed is purposely made short to make it simple for everyone.
