B. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation

Crossword Puzzle

Mechanics: The teacher will post this figure on the board. It is written
on a Manila paper. The instructions are also written on the same Manila
paper. The teacher will pick seven (7) random students and will be given an
envelope containing letters to complete the word with the given clues. The
students will be given 30-60 seconds to paste the letters on the manila paper.
After the game, the teacher will explain that the words they have
unlocked from the crossword puzzle are the words that they are going to
encounter in the discussion, which is Types of Sentences According to
Structure.

2. Presentation of the Lesson

The teacher will present the topic, which is "Types of Sentences
According to Structure," through a PowerPoint presentation.

3. Development of the Lesson

The teacher will discuss the lesson through a PowerPoint presentation.
First, she will help the students recall what they have already discussed,
which is the Types of Sentences According to Function. The previous topic
has something to do with what the teacher is going to discuss which is also
Types of Sentences According to Structure. The teacher will relate the
unlocked words from the crossword puzzle to the discussion through Venn
Diagram.
What is a phrase?

Words can be grouped together without a subject or a verb. This is

called a phrase.

 The teacher will ask the students if they recall what is meant by a
subject and a predicate.

Possible Answers:
 A subject is the person, place, or thing that is performing the
action of the sentence.
 A predicate tells something about the sentence.

Because a phrase has neither subject nor verb, it cannot form a

‘predicate’. This is a structure that must contain a verb, and it tells you
something about what the subject is doing.

Phrases can be very short or quite long. Two examples of phrases are:

 “After dinner”
  “Waiting for the rain to stop."

Phrases can’t be used alone, but you can use them as part of a sentence,
where they are used as parts of speech.

What is a clause?

Clauses are groups of words that have both subjects and predicates.
Unlike phrases, a clause can sometimes act as a sentence; this type of clause
is called an independent clause. This isn’t always the case, and some clauses
can’t be used on their own; these are called subordinate clauses and need to
be used with an independent clause to complete their meaning.

A subordinate clause, like an independent clause, has a subject and a

verb, but unlike an independent clause, it cannot stand alone as a sentence.
Subordinate classes begin with certain words or short phrases called
subordinating words (also known as dependent words, or
subordinating/subordinate conjunctions).

 The teacher will recall what subordinating conjunctions are and use
them in a sentence.

 The teacher will ask the students to give other examples of

subordinating conjunctions.

Possible Answers:
 after, although, as, as if, because, before, how, if, since, than,
though, unless, until, when, where, and while.

An example of a subordinate clause is “When the man broke into the

house”

An example of an independent clause is “the dog barked at him”

While the independent clause could be used by itself as a complete

sentence, the subordinate clause could not. For it to be correct, it would need
to be paired with another clause: “When the man broke into the house, the
dog barked at him.”

What is a sentence?
 A complete sentence has a subject and predicate and can often be
composed of more than one clause. As long as it has a subject and a
predicate, a group of words can form a sentence, no matter how short.

Example: “You ate fish.”

More complex sentences can combine multiple clauses or phrases to

add additional information about what is described. Clauses may be combined
using conjunctions – such as “and”, “but” and “or”.

Example: “He went out to dinner but didn’t enjoy the meal.”

This example is composed of two independent clauses, “he went out to

dinner” and “he didn’t enjoy the meal”, combined with a conjunction- “but”.

 The teacher will ask the students to construct a sentence on their

own.

According to structure, there are four types of sentences:

1. Simple Sentence
2. Compound Sentence
3. Complex Sentence
4. Compound-Complex

1. Simple Sentence
Contains a subject and a verb, and it may also have an object
and modifiers. However, it contains only one independent
clause.

Examples:
1. I broke my arm.
2. I kicked the ball.

 After the teacher gives examples of simple sentences, she will ask
the students to construct a simple sentence by asking them what
they had for dinner last night.

2. Compound Sentence
Contains at least two independent clauses. These two
independent clauses can be combined with a comma and a
coordinating conjunction or with a semicolon.
  The teacher will ask the students what the coordinating
conjunctions are through recitation.
Possible answers: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

Examples:
● I fell off my bike, and I broke my arm.
● I kicked the ball, and it hit Tom.

 After the teacher gives examples of compound sentences, she will

present two simple sentences, and the students will combine the
sentences using a coordinating conjunction to form compound
sentences.

1. My mother is sick. My mother is going to the doctor.

Possible answer: My mother is sick, so she is going to the doctor.
2. Nalini was not satisfied with her birthday dress. Nalini wore it
anyway.
Possible answer: Nalini was not satisfied with her birthday dress;
however, she wore it.
3. Tina had to present the paper today. Nancy volunteered to do it.
Possible answer: Tina had to present the paper today; instead,
Nancy volunteered to do it.

3. Complex Sentence
● Contains at least one independent clause and at least one
dependent clause. Dependent clauses can refer to the subject
(who, which) the sequence/time (since, while), or the causal
elements (because, if) of the independent clause.

Examples:
● When I fell off my bike, I broke my arm.
● Tom cried because the ball hit him.

 After the teacher gives examples of compound sentences, she

will present simple sentences, and the students will combine
the sentences using a subordinating conjunction to form
complex sentences.
1. I don’t think I will be able to make it. I missed the bus.
Possible answer: I don’t think I will be able to make it because I
missed the bus.
2. You do not finish it. You will have to face the consequences.
 Possible answer: If you do not finish it, you will have to face the
consequences.

3. You speak up. Nobody is going to know.

Possible answer: Unless you speak up, nobody is going to know.

4. Compound-Complex Sentence
● Contains at least two independent clauses and at least one
dependent clause.

Examples:
● When I fell off my bike, I went to the hospital because I
broke my arm.
● Tom cried because the ball hit him, and I apologized
immediately.

IV. Enrichment of the Lesson

The teacher will present a game called "Cards of Luck.". The game
can be access in this link: https://jeopardylabs.com/play/the-game-of-
annoyance. The game looks like the figure.

The teacher will divide the class into four (4). The first group must pick
among Jack, Queen, and King and will also pick a number. For example,
“Jack 2." There is a corresponding sentence in each tab, and the students
should answer whether the sentence is a simple, compound, complex, or
compound-complex sentence. The same goes also for the second group,
the third, and so on. Each correct answer is worth 1 point. The group that
gets the highest score will get an additional 5 points for the quiz.
 V. Generalization
 To sum up the discussion, the teacher will ask once again what the
differences of the four types of sentences according to structure.
Also, the teacher will ask the students to share their ideas why they
have to learn the difference of the different types of sentences
according to structure.

Texts are made more fascinating and help the reader visualize the
text's content more vividly when a variety of sentence forms, such as lengthy
simple sentences and complicated phrases, are used. Understanding how
sentences are put together for impact enables students to confidently
improve their writing.
