The slide will show students that a compound sentence is made up of two
simple sentences. They are combined to create a longer sentence that has a
smooth flow. To combine two simple sentences, they will be using a comma
and joining word. This image will be left up in the Smart Board as a reference
throughout the activity portion of the activity.
Following the introduction, the students will be given the rest of the class to
complete their compound sentence butterflies.
Each student will be given a butterfly body in the shape of a comma. On the
comma body, they will be asked to write one joining word on the body. Once
that is done, they will write the first part of their sentence on the butterflys right
wing then the second part of their sentence will be written on the left wing. The
body will separate the two parts.
The students will be asked to write four sentences in all. They will need to
number their sentences when writing them out. I plan on preparing an example
butterfly as a reference.
For remainder of the period, the students will be asked to share some of their
sentences.
Assessment Criteria:
The student(s):
- Chooses the purpose or topic of their writing (in this case sentences)
- Grammar, vocabulary, and syntax (sentence structure)
- Expresses themselves clearly when talking. The student expresses their
feelings, thoughts, and imagination.
Assessment Tools:
The students will need to write out their sentences on a loose leaf before
writing them on their butterfly. This will allow them to self-correct. They will
have access to dictionaries and thesauruses as guides to correct themselves. I
will be circulating correcting their spelling as well. The rough copy will be taken
in to compare with their final product.
DIFFERENTIATION For one, all the students will have access to the information slide as well as my
& example butterfly when completing their own butterflies should they need to
use them.
ADAPTATIONS:
For students on an IEP or working at a lower level, will be asked to write fewer
sentences than the other students. Instead of four sentences they may be
asked to write two or three.
For student who require enrichment, they may be asked to write additional
sentences. Furthermore, I will print out an activity sheet on compound
sentences as reinforcement.
REFLECTION:
(on lesson) To be written.
