Lesson Plan: Subject Compliments

Grade: 6th

Objective: Students will be able to identify and use subject compliments in sentences.

Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Handouts with sentences for practice - Subject complement examples

Procedure:

  1. Introduction (5 minutes):
    • Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what a subject complement is.
    • Write the definition of subject complement on the board: A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject.
    • Provide examples of subject complements, such as “She is a doctor” or “He seems tired.”
    • Explain that subject complements help provide more information about the subject of a sentence.
  2. Guided Practice (10 minutes):
    • Write a simple sentence on the board, such as “The flowers smell sweet.”
    • Ask students to identify the subject and the verb in the sentence.
    • Explain that the verb “smell” is a linking verb, and it requires a subject complement to complete the meaning.
    • Ask students to suggest possible subject complements for the sentence.
    • Write the correct subject complement, “sweet,” on the board next to the sentence.
    • Repeat this process with a few more sentences, allowing students to practice identifying and providing subject complements.
  3. Independent Practice (15 minutes):
    • Distribute handouts with sentences that require subject complements.
    • Instruct students to read each sentence and identify the subject, verb, and subject complement.
    • Encourage students to work individually or in pairs to complete the task.
    • After they finish, review the answers as a class, discussing any questions or difficulties they encountered.
  4. Application (15 minutes):
    • Divide the class into small groups.
    • Provide each group with a set of subject complement examples on separate cards.
    • Instruct the groups to create their own sentences using the subject complements provided.
    • Encourage creativity and challenge students to use a variety of subjects and verbs.
    • After they finish, have each group share their sentences with the class, allowing for discussion and feedback.
  5. Conclusion (5 minutes):
    • Recap the main points of the lesson, emphasizing the definition and purpose of subject complements.
    • Ask students to reflect on the importance of subject complements in providing more information about the subject.
    • Answer any remaining questions and provide additional clarification if needed.

Assessment: - Monitor students’ participation during the guided practice and independent practice activities. - Review their completed handouts to assess their understanding of subject complements. - Evaluate their ability to create sentences using subject complements during the application activity.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
