Lesson Plan: Complete Sentences
Objective: Students will be able to identify and construct complete sentences.
Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Sentence strips or index cards - Pencils or pens - Worksheets or handouts with sentence exercises
Warm-up (5 minutes): 1. Begin the lesson by asking students to share what they know about complete sentences. Write their responses on the board.
Introduction (10 minutes): 1. Define a complete sentence as a group of words that expresses a complete thought and contains a subject and a predicate. 2. Explain that a subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and the predicate is the verb or verb phrase that tells what the subject is doing or being. 3. Provide examples of complete sentences and ask students to identify the subject and predicate in each sentence.
Guided Practice (15 minutes): 1. Distribute sentence strips or index cards to each student. 2. Write incomplete sentences on the board and ask students to complete them to make them into complete sentences. For example: - The cat ____. - She ____. - They ____. 3. Have students write their completed sentences on their sentence strips or index cards. 4. Ask volunteers to share their completed sentences with the class, and discuss whether they are complete or incomplete.
Independent Practice (15 minutes): 1. Distribute worksheets or handouts with sentence exercises to each student. 2. Instruct students to read each sentence and determine if it is complete or incomplete. 3. Have students rewrite the incomplete sentences to make them complete. 4. Circulate around the classroom to provide assistance and answer any questions.
Closure (5 minutes): 1. Review the concept of complete sentences and ask students to share one thing they learned about complete sentences during the lesson. 2. Summarize the importance of using complete sentences in writing and communication.
Classwork Assessment: - Assess students’ understanding of complete sentences through their participation in the guided practice and independent practice activities. - Review students’ completed worksheets or handouts to check for accuracy in identifying and rewriting incomplete sentences.
Extension Activity: - Have students write a short paragraph using at least five complete sentences to describe their favorite hobby or activity. - Encourage students to share their paragraphs with the class or in small groups for further practice and feedback.
