Introduction: 1. Begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what nouns, verbs, and adjectives are. 2.

Share the objectives of the lesson with the students.

Lesson Outline: 1. Display a chart paper with the headings “Nouns,” “Verbs,” and “Adjectives.” 2. Write a few examples of each category under the respective headings. 3. Use the video resources to introduce and reinforce the concepts of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Here are some suggested videos: - Nouns: “Nouns: A Word That’s Almost a Thing” by Grammaropolis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkXm0GoXH8) - Verbs: “Verbs: A Word That’s a Doing Word” by Grammaropolis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkXm0GoXH8) - Adjectives: “Adjectives: A Word That’s Worth a Thousand Pictures” by Grammaropolis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkXm0GoXH8) 4. After each video, discuss the main points and ask students to provide examples of nouns, verbs, and adjectives they noticed in the video.

Questioning: 1. Ask the students to identify nouns, verbs, and adjectives in sentences you provide. 2. Encourage students to explain their reasoning behind their choices. 3. Ask open-ended questions to promote critical thinking, such as: - How do nouns, verbs, and adjectives make sentences more interesting? - Can you think of any other examples of nouns, verbs, or adjectives that were not mentioned in the video?

Assessment: 1. Distribute worksheets to the students to practice identifying nouns, verbs, and adjectives in sentences. 2. Walk around the classroom to provide assistance and monitor progress. 3. Collect and review the completed worksheets to assess individual understanding.

Differentiation: 1. For students who need additional support, provide simpler sentences or use visuals to help identify nouns, verbs, and adjectives. 2. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to create their own sentences using multiple nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Plenary: 1. Review the main points of the lesson by asking students to share what they have learned about nouns, verbs, and adjectives. 2. Have a class discussion about how using descriptive words can make writing more interesting and engaging. 3.
