Introduction: 1. Greet the students and explain that today they will be learning about parts of speech, which are like the building blocks of sentences. 2. Show a simple sentence on the board, such as “The cat sat on the mat.” 3. Ask the students to identify the different words in the sentence and discuss their functions (e.g., cat is a noun, sat is a verb, on is a preposition, etc.). 4. Explain that today they will focus on four main parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

Lesson Outline: 1. Nouns: a. Explain that nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. b. Show examples of nouns on the board and ask students to identify them in sentences. c. Use the video resource “Nouns Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J6H1Hk9r6s) to reinforce the concept of nouns.

1. Verbs: a. Explain that verbs are words that show action or state of being. b. Show examples of verbs on the board and ask students to identify them in sentences. c. Use the video resource “Verbs Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JkW0X1Xtuo) to reinforce the concept of verbs.

2. Adjectives: a. Explain that adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. b. Show examples of adjectives on the board and ask students to identify them in sentences. c. Use the video resource “Adjectives Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dh-RL__uN4) to reinforce the concept of adjectives.

3. Adverbs: a. Explain that adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. b. Show examples of adverbs on the board and ask students to identify them in sentences. c. Use the video resource “Adverbs Song” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dh-RL__uN4) to reinforce the concept of adverbs.

Questioning: 1. Throughout the lesson, ask questions to check for understanding, such as: - Can you give me an example of a noun/verb/adjective/adverb? - How does an adjective/adverb change a sentence? - Can you identify the parts of speech in this sentence?

Assessment: 1. Distribute worksheets to the students to assess their understanding of the parts of speech.

Differentiation: 1. For students who need extra support, provide additional examples and practice opportunities during the lesson. 2. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to create their own sentences using different parts of speech.

Plenary: 1. Review the main parts of speech and their functions. 2. Ask students to share one sentence they created using each part of speech. 3. Summarize the lesson by emphasizing the importance of understanding parts of speech in building strong sentences.
