Lesson Plan for Primary 6 - Grammer - Concord

Certainly! Here's a lesson plan on the topic of "Concord" (Subject-Verb Agreement) for Primary 6 students: ### Lesson Plan: Subject-Verb Agreement (Concord) #### **Objective:** By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1. Understand the basics of subject-verb agreement. 2. Identify and apply the correct verb forms that agree with their subjects in sentences. #### **Materials:** - Whiteboard and markers - Projector and slides (optional) - Handouts with exercises - Flashcards - Worksheets for practice #### **Duration:** - 1 hour #### **Lesson Outline:** **Introduction (10 minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** - Greet students and settle them down. - Quick warm-up activity: Write a few simple sentences on the board with mixed correct and incorrect subject-verb agreement. Ask students to identify whether each sentence is correct or incorrect. 2. **Objective Introduction:** - Briefly explain that today’s lesson will cover subject-verb agreement, which means making sure that subjects and verbs match in a sentence. **Teaching Content (20 minutes):** 1. **Explanation of Concord:** - Define subject-verb agreement: The subject of a sentence must agree in number with the verb. - Singular subjects take singular verbs. - Plural subjects take plural verbs. 2. **Examples:** - Provide examples on the board and explain: - Singular: "The cat runs fast." - Plural: "The cats run fast." - Use additional examples with different tenses. 3. **Basic Rules of Subject-Verb Agreement:** - Rule 1: When the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb. - Example: "The dog and the cat are friends." - Rule 2: When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by or or nor, use a singular verb. - Example: "The book or the pen is on the table." - Rule 3: When a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by or or nor, the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is nearer the verb. - Example: "The boy or his friends run every day." - Rule 4: Don't be misled by a phrase that comes between the subject and the verb; the verb agrees with the subject, not with a noun or pronoun in the phrase. - Example: "One of the boxes is open." - Rule 5: Use singular verbs with uncountable nouns. - Example: "The news is on at six." **Interactive Activity (15 minutes):** 1. **Flashcard Activity:** - Show flashcards with sentences missing a verb. Students must choose the correct verb form that agrees with the subject. - E.g., "She (run/runs) every morning." 2. **Group Work:** - Divide students into small groups and give each group a list of sentences. They must correct any subject-verb agreement errors they find. **Practice (10 minutes):** 1. **Worksheet Distribution:** - Hand out worksheets that include sentences with subject-verb agreement errors. Ask students to correct them individually. 2. **Peer Review:** - Once students complete the worksheets, have them exchange papers with a partner and review each other's work. **Conclusion (5 minutes):** 1. **Review and Recap:** - Summarize the key points of the lesson. - Ask a few students to share examples of correct subject-verb agreement. 2. **Homework Assignment:** - Assign a homework task, such as writing a short paragraph ensuring correct subject-verb agreement throughout. 3. **Questions and Clarifications:** - Allow time for any questions or clarifications from students. 4. **Closing:** - Thank the students for their participation and remind them of the importance of subject-verb agreement in writing and speaking. By following this lesson plan, students should be able to understand and apply the rules of subject-verb agreement effectively.
