Grade 11 English
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Warm-up | 5 min | Play a short game of hangman, using words with different parts of speech. Use the whiteboard to list the category of the word (e.g. Noun, Verb, Adjective) as students guess the letters. |
| 2 | Review Homework | 5 min | Quickly check homework without announcing specific students. Write common mistakes on the whiteboard and discuss the correct answers as a class. |
| 3 | Introduction | 5 min | Provide an overview of the different parts of speech (Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection) and give examples. Hand out the examples sheet to the students. |
| 4 | Group Task | 10 min | Split students into groups of four or five. Give each group a different category of parts of speech (telling them which one they have). Students will then create ten example sentences using only words from their designated part of speech. Each group will then present their sentences to the class. |
| 5 | Physical Activity Break | 3 min | Play a short song for students to get up and move around to in the classroom. |
| 6 | Individual Task | 7 min | Hand out the printable cards and ask students to write one example sentence using each of the different parts of speech. |
| 7 | Share and Check | 5 min | Students will exchange their cards and check that each other's sentences are correctly using the right parts of speech. |
| 8 | Conclusion and Homework | 5 min | Review the different parts of speech briefly and then assign homework. |
Write a short paragraph (100-150 words) using at least one example of each part of speech.
Teacher: "Good morning class, today we are going to learn about different parts of speech. But before we begin, let's play a quick game of hangman! I'll write a word on the board and you'll have to guess the letters. As you guess, I'll write down the category of the word (Noun, Verb, Adjective) on the board."
Teacher: "Okay, let's quickly check the homework I assigned last class. I won't be calling on specific students, but I will write common mistakes on the board. Let's discuss the correct answers as a class."
Teacher: "Now that we've warmed up, let's talk about the different parts of speech. There are eight main types: Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection. Here, I'm giving you an examples handout. Please keep it with you throughout the lesson."
Teacher: "Now that we know what the different parts of speech are, we're going to split into groups. Each group will have a different category of parts of speech to work with. They will create ten example sentences using only words from their designated category. Afterward, each group will present their sentences to the class."
Teacher: "Alright, we've been sitting for a while and it's time for a short break. I'll play a song and you can move around a bit."
Teacher: "Okay, now we're going to work on an individual task. I'm handing out some cards and I want you to write one example sentence using each of the different parts of speech."
Teacher: "Now you'll exchange the cards with someone else and check that each other's sentences are correctly using the right parts of speech. Make sure to double-check and correct any mistakes."
Teacher: "We've learned a lot today about different parts of speech. Remember to review your examples sheet and make sure you write a short paragraph using all of the different parts of speech that we've talked about. That will be your homework for today."
