Plans for Leading a Discussion Following Guided Practice and Independent Practice 
Launch Frame
“We have learned about making compound sentences, what are some things we
need to remember to do when making a compound sentence?”
Eliciting, Orienting Questions to ask During the Discussion

minute Discussion 
“Why is this a compound sentence?”
Following Guided Practice 
Conclusion Frame
“We have learned how to create two simple sentences into one compound
sentence. For homework, you will be looking at more compound sentences and
simple sentences and figuring out if the sentence is a compound sentence or a
simple sentence.”
Launch Frame
Yesterday, we learned about compound sentences, and today we’re going to go
over compound sentences again and practice turning more simple sentences
into compound sentences.

minute Discussion  What do we remember is a compound sentence?
Following Independent  What do you need to have to make a compound sentence?
Practice  What do you put in the sentence before adding the conjunction?
Conclusion Frame
“Today we have learned how to turn two simple sentences into one compound
sentence. Tomorrow, we will review compound sentences, and you will get a
chance to create your own compound sentences.”
Plans for Differentiated Instruction/Accomodations 
Special Education  For my SPED kids, I will be adding the definitions and include multiple examples
UH COE Lesson Plan Template (Direct Instruction)
Students  for them to see before practicing compound sentences on their own.
I have included the definition, as well as I plan on repeating this lesson's
vocabulary often throughout the lesson. In the beginning of the lesson, I have
included a portion where I will be showing the students these definitions as well

as new definitions in a slideshow. The students are to write these definitions
Learners 
onto a journal or a sheet of paper for future reference. I will also be asking the
students to write down examples of compound sentences into that same sheet
of paper.
For my GT students, I have included a portion in my lesson that allows these
students to get creative and create their own compound sentences. The
Gifted and Talented  students are able to write down any eight sentences they would like as long as
they can pair them and turn them into compound sentences.

I will ensure all slideshows and technology is working before beginning the
Other:   lesson. The lesson will also be uploaded on Seesaw for any students who are
not able to make it, or are having technical difficulties.
Assessment 
The student will be creating eight different simple sentences on a sheet of paper and number them 1-8.
After creating those simple sentences, the students will then create 4 compound sentences out of those 8
sentences and number those 1-4; after they complete this assignment they will upload it to Seesaw.
Classroom Management Plan for the Lesson 
I will ensure to give the students time to join the Google Meet before starting the lessons. I will help the
students to the best of my ability with any technology issues that may occur during the lesson. I will ensure
to remind them of their classroom rules while on Google Meets often, and oftenly remind them to mute their
microphones when they are not speaking.
