Sentence Structures - Commands, statements, questions and exclamations.

I’m a graphic designer turned teacher, this gives me the advantage of being able to create high tech resources such as this one. This resource is perfect for an observation, I know this because I used it for mine and aced it!

Lesson will be Scooby Doo themed.

First slides investigate children’s knowledge on questions, statements, commands or exclamations. Each slide will provide children with a moving image example of each type of sentence we are discussing today. Ask children to give an example to the rest of the class and praise accordingly.

Nest section of slideshow will display Scooby Doo video clips, each containing questions, statements, commands and exclamations.

After each clip, slideshow will display children a script of the previous clip (modelling the correct way to write it) and ask them to raise their hands if they can identify what type of sentence it is and if they know how we write it. Then the slideshow will will display the correct answer.

Keep going with each clip. Don’t be afraid about asking children to experiment and think of their own sentences – give them the stage!

***Guided Work***

Guided work slide will be displayed followed by a slide of prompts and examples.

Year 2 children will be asked to write individual sentences. Their sheet has been divided into 4 titled sections with space to write accordingly. LA Year 2 will be given the same sheet however theirs will have examples of each to remind them.

Year 3 children will be asked to write at least two paragraphs. I will show them a few slides explaining what I mean by paragraphs. LA Year 3 will be given a worksheet, divided into two blank paragraphs and prompts for each paragraph.

***Please Note I created this slideshow for a composite class of Year 2 and 3. You can edit guided work to suit your needs***

Plenary

Plenary will be a review.
Slideshow will play a longer clip this time, tell children to pay attention because you are going to reward whoever can tell you either a question, statement, command or exclamation from the clip. Those children can be rewarded with a sticker.
