Guided Practice (15 minutes): - Distribute worksheets with sentences containing “on” and “at” to each student. - Instruct students to read each sentence and decide whether to use “on” or “at” to complete the sentence correctly. - Allow students to work individually or in pairs to complete the worksheet. - Afterward, review the answers as a class, discussing the correct usage of “on” and “at” in each sentence.
-
Application Activity (15 minutes): - Divide the class into small groups. - Give each group a chart paper and sticky notes. - Instruct each group to create a scenario or situation where they have to use “on” and “at” correctly. - They should write the scenario on the chart paper and use sticky notes to fill in the correct prepositions. - Encourage creativity and collaboration within the groups. - After completing the activity, have each group present their scenario and explain their use of “on” and “at” to the class.
