In this lesson, your students will learn that subject-verb agreement is very important, and without it, readers can get confused. By the end of this lesson, your students will be able to generate sentences that make sense!
Students will be able to identify and generate the subjects and verbs in a sentence.
Introduction
(10 minutes)
Gather your class, and give them a sample sentence, such as: The mice are eating cheese on the floor.
Have a group of students act out the sentence.
Discuss the noun, or the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about. Potential discussion questions include: How many things are mentioned in the sentence? Is mice plural, or more than one, or singular, or one?
