A full lesson presentation teaching how to follow the subject-verb agreement rule to write in the present simple tense correctly.
The present simple tense is used to talk about our habits and routines and to make statements about general truths. When we use the present simple tense, we need to make sure our subjects and verbs agree with each other.
The subject of a sentence is the one that does the verb. If the subject is singular, we add an βsβ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense. If the subject is plural, we do not add an βsβ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense.
The lesson presentation (PowerPoint) includes:
β Learning objective
β Three success criteria
β Starter activity
β Review of relevant prior learning (identify the subjects & verbs activity)
β Teaching input information slides with examples
β Quick review/ mini plenary activity
β Whole class consolidation activities (whiteboard work)
β Group/ paired consolidation activities
β Differentiated independent task (three levels)
β Extension activity
β Apply the learning with reading and writing activities
β All answer slides
β Plenary activity
LO: To ensure the subject and verb agree in sentences in the present simple tense
Success Criteria:
I know that we use the present simple tense to talk about general truths and to describe habits and routines.
I understand that when we use the present simple tense, we must ensure our subjects and verbs agree with each other.
I can construct sentences in the present simple tense which follow the subject-verb agreement rule correctly.
