Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
I will write words on the board and have students volunteer to come up and circle nouns with red, Verbs with green, adjectives with blue, and conjunctions with black.
I will leave it on the board for future reference
Time Needed
10 MIN
Multiple Means of Representation
I will ask if the students can help me make sentences using some of the words on the board. I will start out with “cat ate” and ask them “ from what we know what is this sentence missing?” As a class, we will go through when to use nouns, verbs, adjectives, and conjunction.
Students will come up with three sentences on their own.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups:
English language learners (ELL): Will be given extra time to create the sentence and help if needed (two sentences).
Students with special needs: Help will be given according to IEP/504. (two sentences)
Students with gifted abilities: Spelling will count.
Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): work will be checked. If rushed students will be asked to try again. If not rushed students will be asked “how do you think you could add more detail to your sentences” and asked to write one more.
Time Needed
10 MIN
Multiple Means of Engagement
Students will use their knowledge to hunt for Nouns, Verbs, Conjunctions, and Adjectives around the room
Students may use books and magazines and record their findings on an index card
As a class we will go over the cards and they will be turned in.
Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the following groups:
English language learners (ELL): Help will be given if needed and books will be given to students based on their proficiency level.
Students with special needs: Books will be given based on reading level and according to their IEP/504
Students with gifted abilities: Students will be using books within the reading level.
Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): Work will be checked and asked to find more words until the timer goes off.
Time Needed
10 MIN
Multiple Means of Expression
Students will choose a book, roll the dice, and determine what page to use. Students will find the nouns, verbs, conjunctions, and adjectives from that page. Must repeat three times.
Explain how you will differentiate assessments for each of the following groups:
English language learners (ELL): Help will be given if needed and books will be given to students based on their proficiency level.
Students with special needs: Books will be given based on reading level and according to their IEP/504.
Students with gifted abilities: Students will be using books within the reading level
Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): Work will be checked: if rushed they will be asked to fix it if done and all is good students may choose the read or play on PBSkid.org

Extension Activity and/or Homework

I think the best way to teach is to make learning fun. The use of the videos grabs the attention of the students. The hunt for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and conjunction is to be made like a game and gets the students familiar with what proper sentences look like. When creating their own sentences, grammar doesn’t really affect learning if done on its own. Grammar is a basic part of writing. Students need to be able to put grammar to use as they are learning it so they can apply it as they progress in their academic and future careers.
