Session Duration 90 Minutes
### Introduction Activity (25 minutes) **Objective:** Introduce the idea of a sentence and its basic structure. **Steps:** 1\. Begin with a quick **brain-teaser**: Write “dog eats” and ask, “Is this a full sentence?” 2\. Write “The dog eats food.” Highlight parts: - Subject: The dog - Verb: eats - Object: food 3\. Explain sentence rules: - Starts with a capital letter - Ends with a full stop - Makes complete sense ##### Interactive Exercise: Show word cards (boy, runs, cake, eats, she). Let children form simple sentences verbally: “The boy runs.” “She eats cake.” ### Main Activity (55 minutes) ##### **Sentence Puzzle (30 minutes)** **Objective:** Help students recognize and build correct sentence structure. **Instructions:** 1\. Give students word cards (subjects, verbs, objects). 2\. In pairs, they arrange cards to form proper sentences. 3\. Read aloud their sentences and write them on the board. Examples: - I / play / football → I play football. - The cat / drinks / milk → The cat drinks milk. - They / are / eating → They are eating. - She / sings / well → She sings well. - They / are/ studying → They are studying **Extension**: - Encourage students to add 'a' or 'the' where needed. ##### **My First Sentence Worksheet (25 minutes)** **Objective**:Practice sentence writing individually. **Instructions**: - Distribute worksheets with jumbled words or word banks. - Students form simple sentences and write them down. **worksheet**: - milk / drinks / the boy → The boy drinks milk. - eats / cake / she → She eats cake. - cat / the / jumps → The cat jumps. - Crying / is / Tiya → Tiya is crying. - Rice / cooks / she → She cooks rice. ##### **Peer Review** Students pair up to read each other’s sentences. ### Follow up task (5 minutes) **Quick Oral Recap**: “What comes first in a sentence?” “What ends a sentence?” "Can you give a sentence using 'you learn today'?" ### Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (5 minutes) “What new sentence did you create today?” “Was it easy or hard? Why?” “How did your partner help you?” ### Expected Learning Outcome: **Knowledge building** - Students will understand the parts of a simple sentence - Know the basic rule of sentence construction **Skill Building** - Form basic subject-verb-object sentences - Improve spoken and written communication - Practice teamwork and sharing
