Lesson

Introduction:
1. I will start by eliciting students prior knowledge about what a sentence is.
2. I will ask the students: What are the four things I absolutely need in a
sentence?
3. I will write the 4 components of a sentence down on the white board.
4. I will write then write 2 sentences on the SMART board:
a. The dog runs around the house.
b. The black dog runs around the dark and square house.
5. I will then ask the students if they have ever heard of adjectives before.
6. I will ask the students: What is the difference between these sentences?
7. I will elicit student thinking by asking questions like:
a. Which sentence gives you the most detail?
b. Which sentence is more interesting?

Development:
1. I will gather students in front of the SMART board in order to practice
working with adjectives.
2. Students will discover the Adjective Detective game.
3. After exploring this game, I will ask the students to go back to their seats.

Tasks:
1. I will distribute the superhero adjective sheets.
2. I will read over the instructions with the students in order to clarify any
confusion.
3. I will let the students work at their seats alone. Then, if the students are
working well, I will let them work in pairs. However, if a group is not focu
on the task at hand, I will ask them to separate.

Plan B: (if
students are too
rowdy and
distracted?)

If the students are too distracted and/or are not paying attention after
numerous attempts to get them refocused, I will ask them to go back to the
seats and to open their Language Power to pages 28-29-30-31-32-33. Once
they have finished these pages, they will work in their handwriting books o
their own.

Behavior
considerations:

B22
o I will be using the same behavioural approach for all students. If
students talk or call out during the lesson, I will take off dojo point
any student bothers during SMART board time, I will ask them to g
back to their seat and I will take off dojo points. If the student keep
bothering, I will ask the student to give me their agenda and a note
be sent home.

Differentiation:

I will differentiate this lesson by asking the students with difficulty some
lower level questions. This will provide them the chance to participate and
will increase their confidence.

Assessment:

The worksheet, that the students will complete, will be a formative

assessment. All of the superhero sheets will be collected and stored in a
duotang. I will be grading this adjective sheet.
