Pre-Assessment of Students
Students will be asked to recall the previous days lesson
about prepositions. The teacher will ask the students
what a preposition is and to give examples of a few
prepositions. (A preposition is a word that shows how a
noun or pronoun is related to another word in the
sentence.) The teacher will then ask the students to
define the object of a preposition. (The object of a
preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows the
preposition.)
After the students have completed this review, a poster
of common prepositions will be placed on the board.
Students will also receive a mini-version of the poster to
keep in their binders.
Modeling of the Concept
The teacher will write a sentence on the board. The
students will pick out the preposition and the object of
the preposition. The teacher will then tell the students
that the preposition, the object of the preposition, and
any words between make up a prepositional phrase.
The teacher will then ask the students to come up with
sentences in the groups that they are siting in. One
sentence from each group will be written on the board.
The students will identify the prepositional phrase and
its parts in each sentence.
Transition
Students will move into two groups based on the stickers
on their desks red and yellow are group 1, orange and
blue are group 2.
Guiding the Practice
Group 1 Hide the Object
Students will get into pairs. Each pair of students
will have an object. One student will pull a
prepositional phrase from the box and hide the
object. His/her partner will then have to find the
hidden object and record where it was hidden by
writing a sentence and identifying the
prepositional phrase.
Group 2 Grammaropolis
Students will use their iPads to practice with
prepositions on Grammaropolis. They will watch
the videos, read the story, and take two quizzes.
Students will record their scores on their personal
score sheet.
After 10 minutes, the groups will switch. During this
time, the teacher will be monitoring student progress
and addressing any struggling students.
Providing the Independent Practice
Each student will receive a worksheet. The students will
write their name and date on the top of the paper. After
