Teacher: “Good morning, class! Are you ready for an exciting adventure today?”
Students: [Responses]
Teacher: “Today, we are going to explore the magical world of sentences! Just like a hero in a story, every sentence has a subject part and an action part. Let’s find out more!”
Teacher: “Let me introduce you to our friend, Sammy the Squirrel! He lives in a big oak tree in the forest.”
Once upon a time, Sammy the Squirrel woke up early in the morning. He stretched his little arms and looked around. It was a beautiful day! Sammy wanted to find the biggest acorn he could find!
Discussion Prompt:
(Wait for students to respond, emphasizing the identification of the subject and action.)
Teacher: “Great job! Now, let’s break it down. In our sentence, ‘Sammy the Squirrel woke up early in the morning,’ who is the subject? And what is the action?”
Subject Part: This is who or what the sentence is about. In our example, it’s Sammy the Squirrel!
Action Part: This tells us what the subject is doing. In our example, the action is woke up!
Activity:
Example: “The dog barks.”
Transition to Main Lesson:
Now that we’ve warmed up our minds with Sammy and our own sentences, let’s dive deeper into understanding the subject part and action part of sentences!
Get ready, because we’re about to become sentence detectives!
