10:00 Teacher will begin by going over the definitions and notes of Students will be following along in their packets and Demonstration by teacher
what each puzzle piece of sentence structure filling out the correct definitions as we go through the allows students to internalize
notes and digest information
10:25 After going through notes, teacher will assign each table one Students will work together with their table to give an Students will use eachother to
type of sentence to come up with an example (Simple, example of the sentence - 5-10 minutes to do this double check their
compound, complex, compound- complex) 5-10 minutes understanding and definitions
Teacher will also be going around the room helping students and Teacher will be an additional
answering questions resource to help students
creator examples
10:35 Teacher will go through each sentence example from students Students will answer the prompts from the teacher, Breaking down something the
and ask them what the dependent, independent clauses are as reading their sentence but also answering where each students have created will show
well as the types of conjunctions part is them that they are able to
correctly identify these things
and show the puzzle pieces that
go into different sentences
I would say that this lesson went well. It was not as exciting as figurative language, as it was sentence structure and grammar. I thought that the
way that I tought was effective, as I went through each puzzle piece and then in all of my subsequent definitions of the types of sentences, I
would use those same puzzle pieces and reiterate all of the definitions. I think that the culminating activity at the end was effective as well. I
went around the room and gave each table a sticky note with a different type of sentence on it. I had each group write a sentence together and
then when I asked “Who wrote a simple sentence” the students would read those aloud and I would write it on the board. From there, I would
ask students to help me break it down and show me where independent and dependent clauses were in the sentence. I thought this was effective
because it had students working in small groups but also broke it down for the whole class to learn afterwards. I also took feedback from last
lesson and described why this is important to do. I did not see any big misconceptions or gaps in learning that developed into patterns and only
were in small bits here and there. I solved this by sitting down with each group and going over their sentence so that when they shared with the
class, everything was correct and students were happy with their result. I think next, similar to the first lesson I taught, it could be morphed into
a repetition of learning and in certain reading activities, we could explore the types of sentences and see how we can implicate it into the
students’ writing. It could also become a requirement in the writing and be something like “You need 5 compound sentences” or “Use at least 3
different types of sentences in this writing”. Overall, I think this was super effective and I am proud of how I was able to convey a conventionally
boring topic in a relatively engaging and effective way.
