2. **Presentation (15 minutes)**
- Present the chosen topic for the composition (e.g., "A Day at the Beach").
- Use a whiteboard to break down the topic into sections (e.g., Introduction, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusion).
- Provide an example composition, reading it aloud and discussing its structure.
Example:
```
Introduction: My Exciting Day at the Beach
Body Paragraph 1: Preparing for the trip
Body Paragraph 2: Activities at the beach
Body Paragraph 3: A surprising event
Conclusion: Reflecting on the day
```
3. **Guided Practice (15 minutes)**
- Distribute the guided composition worksheets.
- Go through the prompts with the students, explaining each section and how to expand their ideas.

2. Who did you go with, and how did you feel?
3. Describe three activities you did at the beach.
4. Did anything unexpected happen? Describe it.
5. How did you feel at the end of the day? What did you learn or enjoy the most?
4. **Independent Practice (15 minutes)**

- Circulate the room, offering individual support and feedback as needed.
5. **Conclusion and Review (5 minutes)**
- Ask a few students to volunteer to read their compositions aloud.
- Offer positive feedback and constructive criticism.
- Briefly review the importance of structure in writing and encourage students to use guided prompts in future compositions.
6. **Homework Assignment**
- Ask students to revise their compositions based on the feedback and write a final draft to be submitted in the next class.
