Title: Mastering Prepositions in Sentences

Learning Intention: Using prepositions in sentences

Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to correctly use prepositions in sentences to indicate location, time, and direction.

Duration: 45 minutes

Materials: - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Preposition flashcards or word cards - Worksheets with sentences containing missing prepositions - Pencils or pens

Procedure:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)
   • Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what prepositions are and how they are used in sentences.
   • Write the definition of a preposition on the board: “A preposition is a word that shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.”
   • Give a few examples of common prepositions, such as “in,” “on,” “at,” “under,” “beside,” etc.
   • Explain that prepositions are important because they help us describe where something is, when something happens, or how something is done.
2. Preposition Flashcards (10 minutes)
   • Show the preposition flashcards or word cards to the students one by one.
   • Ask students to provide a sentence using each preposition correctly.
   • Encourage students to think of different examples for each preposition to reinforce understanding.
3. Preposition Practice (15 minutes)
   • Distribute the worksheets with sentences containing missing prepositions to each student.
   • Instruct students to read each sentence carefully and fill in the missing preposition from the word bank provided.
   • Allow students to work individually or in pairs to complete the worksheet.
   • Afterward, review the answers as a class, discussing the correct use of prepositions in each sentence.
4. Preposition Game (10 minutes)
   • Divide the class into two teams.
   • Explain that you will give a sentence without a preposition, and each team will take turns adding a suitable preposition to complete the sentence.
   • The team that provides the correct preposition scores a point.
   • Continue playing until all students have had a chance to participate or until a predetermined number of points is reached.
5. Conclusion (5 minutes)
   • Recap the main points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of using prepositions correctly in sentences.
   • Encourage students to practice using prepositions in their everyday conversations and writing.
   • Answer any remaining questions and provide feedback on student performance.

Extension Activity (Optional): - Ask students to write a short paragraph describing their favorite place using at least five different prepositions. - Have students share their paragraphs with a partner or the whole class, focusing on the correct use of prepositions.
