S/N	STEPS	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	LEARNERS’ ACTIVITY
1	INTRODUCTION	The teacher introduces relative pronouns and explains that they are used to relate a noun to another part of the sentence. She writes examples of relative pronouns on the board: who, whom, whose, which, that.	Learners observe and listen as the teacher introduces relative pronouns.
2	EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION / TEACHER MODELLING	The teacher explains the functions of each relative pronoun: who/whom (used for human beings), whose (shows possession), which (used for animals and inanimate objects), and that (can be used for people, animals, and things). She models their use in sentences.	Learners listen attentively and take notes on the different types of relative pronouns and their functions.
3	EVALUATION	The teacher asks learners to identify the relative pronouns in given sentences and explain their function. Example: “The teacher whom we admire is very kind.”	Learners respond by identifying relative pronouns and explaining their functions in the sentences.
4	CLASS-WORK	The teacher gives learners sentence strips with blanks and asks them to fill in the blanks with appropriate relative pronouns.	Learners work in pairs or groups to complete the sentence strips.
5	ASSIGNMENT	The teacher assigns homework: 1. Write five sentences using different relative pronouns. 2. Identify the relative pronoun in the following passage and explain its function.	Learners complete the homework individually, applying relative pronouns in sentences.
6	CONCLUSION	The teacher reviews the learners' responses to the classwork and assigns further practice exercises. She explains the importance of relative pronouns in creating detailed and informative sentences.	Learners listen, ask questions for clarity, and review corrections.
