Students should be able to understand the definitions of the words and be able to convey those definitions back to the teacher, Accommodations and Modifications: T would shrink the whole lesson into several mini lessons with practice work for each section. Students would work together in groups of 2 to 3 with the practice work. Allow extra time for practice. I would also come up with more sentences to use as practice if we need to do it more as a group. Remediation: L would shrink the whole lesson into several mini lessons with practice work for cach section. Students would work together in groups of 2 to 3 with the practice work. Should a student need more help understanding the concept, I will be available to help as I walk around the classroom. If the student cannot do all twenty problems, specific problems must be completed for the student to be done with the work. If. student eannot do the worksheet, I will take the worksheet and cut it up so that the students can manipulate the words around to make the sections that are clauses. Enrichment: Students could take sentences from the Leprechaun worksheet, and make a funny story. This story then will be used for other groups to find the different parts of the sentences. If the students have time, have them to draft 5 sentences/questions that might be used on the test and present them to me. Homework/Independent Practice: Students will need to create a storyboard (pictures) with sentences underneath. The students are to then identify each by underlining the subject, circling the predicate, and draw a line between the clauses. Just like the practice in class. Problems to Anticipat ‘The information could be overwhelming if adding all the different types of clauses to the presentation, The primary focus will be dependent and independent clauses, ‘The students must first understand what a clause and a phrase are respectfully before adding in the different types of clauses. Changes to Future Lessons: Changes will have to occur as the lesson is presented. Any changes will be marked, so that the next time this lesson is presented, the changes will be made accordingly.5/27/2014 Clauses and Pirases ‘Sentence Structure Lesson What is a Clause?
