of the lesson on the board (Making Sentences). Then, the teacher

will ask the students What is a sentence? The teacher will explain
it and write it on the board after students responds.
A sentence is a group of words that has a complete meaning.
The teacher will give some examples of sentences and nonsentences, writes them on the board, and students have to

say which ones are sentences and which ones are not.
1. Sally walks to the park.
2. She takes a friend with her.
3. Went home.
Which is not a sentence? Why? Does it have a complete

meaning?
We wonder who went home.

Body:

It might be said:

How do we make a sentence?? (students answer)

Making a sentence is like making a sandwich (ex: burger).
You need the bread which is the subject, and the meat
which is the verb.
Then, to make the burger more exciting you might add lettuce

or mayonnaise which is the adjective.

Subject: is the person, place, thing or idea that is doing or

being something.
Verb: tells what the subject does or is.
Adjective: describes the subject (beautiful lady)
Now we can go to example number (3) and check why it is not
a sentence. What is missing?? (Students answer). What do we

have to add? (a subject). Who went home?

The new sentence might be: Lana went home.

Guided practice:
The teacher asks the students to make sentences with her
help. The teacher writes them on the board with the

corrections if there was any.

The teacher will say: Notice that when I have written the
complete sentences, I put a capital letter at the beginning and

a punctuation mark at the end.

So we have 2 rules for making sentences:
Every sentence should begin with a capital letter.
Every sentence should end with a punctuation mark (.),
(?), (!).
The teacher will show the students words on cards (not in
order), and students will arrange them in order to make

It might be said:

complete sentences. (2 to 3 sentences; sentences with

adjectives and without adjectives) + Discussion: Where is the
subject? Where is the verb? Where is the adjective?
-

Independent practice: Worksheet Making Sentences

Closure: The teacher will write some sentences and non-sentences

on the board, students will raise the (check) stick for the complete

sentences, and the (X) stick for the non-sentences.

Revision:
So what is a sentence? What makes a sentence? (Subject, verb)
Can we have a sentence without one of these 2 elements?
(Remember the burger, it should have bread (subject), meat (verb),
and it might have lettuce or mayonnaise (adjective)).

Extra activity:
The teacher will choose some students to come to the board; each
four students will put on their head a paper crown written on it
different words (a sentence made up of four words). Students will
put the crowns on their head and stand in a scrambled way. The
other students in their seats will call their names in order to
unscramble the words to make a complete sentence, and then the
students will read the sentence aloud.
