Lesson Plan: Teaching Sentence Structure - Who, What, Where, When

Grade Level: Year 1

Duration: 30 minutes

Subject: English

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Identify the components of a sentence: who, what, where, and when.
2. Create simple sentences using the structure of who, what, where, and when.
3. Enhance their understanding of sentence structure through interactive activities.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Flashcards with images representing who, what, where, and when
• Sentence structure worksheets
• Colouring materials for homework

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what a sentence is. Draw a simple sentence on the whiteboard, e.g., "The dog runs."
2. Explain that sentences tell us about people, things, places, and times. Introduce the four components:
   • Who (the subject)
   • What (the action)
   • Where (the place)
   • When (the time)

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Using flashcards, show various images that represent each component:

   • Who: A child, a dog, a cat
   • What: Running, jumping, swimming
   • Where: Park, school, beach
   • When: Morning, afternoon, evening

2. Write a simple example on the board, e.g., "The cat (who) jumps (what) in the garden (where) in the morning (when)."

3. Break down the sentence, highlighting each component, and invite students to help identify the "who," "what," "where," and "when."

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Hand out sentence structure worksheets to the students.
2. Together, read a few examples and identify each component. For instance:
   • "The girl (who) plays (what) at school (where) in the afternoon (when)."
3. Ask students to create their sentences using the sentence starters provided in the worksheet. Walk around and offer assistance.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Instruct students to think of their own sentences using the who, what, where, and when structure.
2. Students will write one sentence on their whiteboards and then share it with a partner.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

1. Summarise the lesson by asking students the significance of using who, what, where, and when in sentences.
2. Encourage students to continue thinking about these components in their everyday conversations and writings.
