</div>### **Introduction Activity (20 minutes)**

**Objective:** Review the previous session and introduce the concept of expanding sentences using descriptive words.

- Steps: Ask students to recall how to make a basic sentence (Subject + Verbs + Object).
- Introduce how to add details using adjectives and adverbs.

**Show examples on the board:**

- “The dog barks.” → The small dog barks loudly.
- “She sings.” → She sings beautifully on stage.

**Group Activity:**

- Show a picture (e.g., a girl running in a park). Ask guiding questions:
- Who? What doing? Where? How?
- Create a descriptive sentence together:
- “The little girl runs happily in the green park.”

### **Main Activity (65 minutes)**

##### **Sentence Building Cards (35 minutes)**

**Objective:**

Support students in constructing detailed sentences using word prompts.

**Instructions:**

1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Distribute colour-coded word cards:
3. - Green = Subjects
    - Red = Verbs
    - Blue = Objects
    - Yellow = Adjectives / Adverbs
4. Each group builds sentences by combining different cards.
5. Groups read out their best sentences.

**Examples:**

- “The big elephant walks slowly.”
- “A happy boy eats a sweet apple.”
- “The fast train moves quickly.”

##### **Sentence Skit(30 minutes)**  


**Objective:** Encourage students to perform and express their own sentences in short dramatised acts.

**Instructions:**  
Provide each group with a picture or a prompt (e.g., “A boy is flying a kite”, “She is painting a picture”).  
Groups must:

- Form a descriptive sentence
- Create a short act around it
- Speak their sentence clearly during the skit

**Example Prompt:**

- Picture: A girl eating ice cream
- Sentence: “The happy girl eats an ice cream quickly.”
- Skit: One student acts as the girl, others as family or friends
- Time Limit per Group: 1–2 minutes
- Simple Props: Toy, scarf, paper, etc.

**Reflection Questions:**

Teacher: “Was it fun to act your sentence?”

Teacher: “What did you like about your team’s sentence?”

### Follow-up task (2 minutes)

Ask each student to say or write one expanded sentence using an adjective or adverb.

### Review Questions (3 minutes)

**Quick Recap**:

- What new words did you learn today?
- How did you make your sentence more interesting?
