Opening of the Lesson
Gain Students attention: Okay class, put the things you are working on away its
time for language arts! Can I have someone tell me what they ate for supper last
night? [calls on student] What did you have for supper last night? [Students
answer] Anything else? [Student answers]. Can anyone take what he had for
supper, and turn it into a sentence? Jordan had spaghetti for supper Excellent job!
Preview: State the goal of the lesson. Now today, we are going to be learning
about a special type of sentence that I bet each of you have used before, and
havent even realized it. We are going to be learning how to write compound
sentences! Has anyone heard the word compound before? Please raise your hand if
you have heard the word compound before, and its okay if you havent.
Discuss the relevance of the target skills. Compound sentences are something
that we say all the time whenever we say the special words that make it compound.
And when we write paragraphs, we can write compound sentences to make them
more interesting and to connect more than one idea.
Review: Review critical prerequisite skills. Now, lets go back to what Suzy
said about Jordans supper, can anyone tell me what kind of sentence that was?
Simple Right, and what did we say all simple sentences need? a subject, verb,
and period Good job! And thats true for compound sentences too, but they need a
few more things to make it compound.
