Lesson Title: Exploring Conjunctions

Learning Intention: Students will be able to identify and use the conjunctions “and,” “but,” and “or” in sentences.

Success Criteria: Students will be able to correctly use conjunctions in sentences to connect ideas and phrases.

Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what a conjunction is. Explain that a conjunction is a word that connects two or more words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. Tell students that today they will be learning about three common conjunctions: “and,” “but,” and “or.”

Main Part of the Lesson: 1. Introduce the conjunctions “and,” “but,” and “or” to the students, providing examples of how each one is used in a sentence. 2. Engage students in a discussion about when to use each conjunction and how they change the meaning of a sentence. 3. Provide students with a worksheet or activity where they can practice using conjunctions in sentences. Allow time for students to work independently or in pairs to complete the activity. 4. Circulate around the classroom to provide support and guidance to students as needed.

Plenary: Gather students together to review the correct use of conjunctions in sentences. Ask students to share some of the sentences they created during the activity. Provide feedback and praise for correct usage of conjunctions.

Differentiation: - Provide visual aids or sentence starters for students who may need extra support. - Pair students with different abilities together to work on the activity. - Offer extension activities for students who grasp the concept quickly.

Assessment Strategies: - Observe students during the activity to assess their understanding of using conjunctions. - Review completed worksheets or activities to check for correct usage of conjunctions. - Have students participate in a group discussion where they must use conjunctions to connect ideas.

Higher Order Thinking Questions: 1. How would the meaning of the sentence change if a different conjunction was used? 2. Can you think of a sentence that uses all three conjunctions “and,” “but,” and “or”? 3. How can you use conjunctions to make your writing more interesting and engaging? (Analyzing)

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.
