S/N	STEPS	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	LEARNERS' ACTIVITY
1	INTRODUCTION	The teacher reviews the definition and examples of noun clauses from the previous lesson, then introduces new sentences that use noun clauses in different functions (e.g., in questions, indirect speech).	Learners listen, revise previous lessons, and ask for clarification.
2	EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION / TEACHER MODELLING	The teacher models how to identify noun clauses in complex sentences and demonstrates how they function within the sentence. Example: "She asked if he had finished the task." (Noun clause as object of a verb).	Learners follow along, take notes, and ask questions for clarification.
3	EVALUATION	The teacher gives learners complex sentences and asks them to identify the noun clause and its function: 1. "I wonder what she is doing." (Object) 2. "What you believe is your choice." (Subject)	Learners identify the noun clause and its function in the sentences.
4	CLASS-WORK	The teacher gives learners a short passage with noun clauses, asking them to identify the noun clauses and label their function.	Learners work individually or in pairs to complete the task.
5	ASSIGNMENT	1. Write a paragraph using at least three noun clauses. 2. Identify and classify noun clauses in a news article or story.	Learners complete the assignment at home.
6	CONCLUSION	The teacher summarizes the lesson and answers any questions. The teacher assigns extra practice on complex sentence structures involving noun clauses.	Learners review their work, ask questions, and prepare for next lesson.
