III. Learning Procedures

Teachers Task Students Response

A. Preparatory Activity

1. Daily Routine

“Good morning, class. Before

we do anything else, let's
start the day with a prayer.
Please rise, bow your heads, (Students rise, bow their
and close your eye. We may heads and close their eyes)
all feel the presence of our
Lord.”

(Teacher choose from the (Student lead the prayer)

students to lead the prayer)

“Lord our Dear God, we offer

to you our class today. We
pray for your guidance. Give
us the strength and wisdom
to participate actively, so
we could learn more while
having fun. May we
accomplish all our
activities for your greater
glory. In the name of Jesus,
Amen.”
(Before taking your seats, (Students pick up some trash and arrange
kindly pick up some trashes their chairs before taking their seats)
that you see around the
classroom, also arrange your
chair properly. Thank you.
You may now take your
seats.)

“Good morning class, how (Students answer)

have you been?” “We’re doing great ma’am”
“Doing good ma’am”

“Are there any absentees “None ma’am”

today class?”

2. Motivational Activity

“Class, I will group you

into 4 groups and I will
give you this group of words
and each group will arrange
the words and phase it in
the board.”

(The teacher give group of

words in each group)

“I will give you a 2 minutes (Students arrange the words)

to arrange those words. You
can start now.”

(After 2 minutes)

“You can now phase in the (Students phase it in the

board” board)

“Now class I want you to (Students read the

read these sentences.” sentences)
“Since you broke the rules”
“You will have a detention”
“Although they are a good
team”
“They still lost the game.”

“So class what did you

notice in these sentences?”

(Teacher call names to (Students answer)

answer) “It contains a subject and a
 verb.”
“The two sentences has a
complete thought.”
“The other two sentences is
not complete.”

“That’s correct class, this

two sentences has a complete
thought and the other
doesn’t but both contains a
subject and a verb. It has
something to do with our
lesson for today.”

B. Lesson Proper

“We can now proceed to our

lesson which is sentence
structure, it is how the
sentence is arranged
grammatically.”

“There are four types of

sentence according to
structure but before we
identify this four, we need
to know first the two clause
which is the independent
clause and dependent
clause.”

“Who here knows what is (Students raise their hands)

independent and dependent
clause?”

“Yes miss?” “Independent clause can

stand alone and dependent
clause is cannot stand
alone.”

“Thank you, independent

clause contains a subject
and a verb that can stand
alone or has a complete
thought, while dependent
clause also has a subject
and a verb but cannot stand
alone which means does not
give a complete thought.”
“Example is this sentences,
this two sentence has a
complete thought but the
other two is not.”

“This clauses is very

important in our lesson
today for us to distinguish
the four types of sentences
according to structure.”

“Now let us proceed to four

types of sentence according
to structure.”

“First is the simple

sentence, let’s have first
the examples. Can you please (Students read the examples)
read?” “Erika kicks the ball.”
“Lara ate many cookies.”

“Thank you, now can you tell (Students answer)

me the subject and the verb “Erika is the subject and
in the first example?” kicks is the verb.”

“Very good, and for the “Lara is the subject and ate
second example?” is the verb.”

“Is this two examples are “Independent clause ma’am.”

independent or dependent
clause?”

“That’s right. Now simple

sentence consists of only
one independent clause
containing a subject and a
verb, it has a complete
thought.”

“Example:

Louie forgot his homework.

It has a complete thought

that contains a subject
which is Louie and verb
forgot.”
“Class do you understand the
first type of sentence
structure? If yes then you
can give your own examples
in the board and state the
subject and the verb. Anyone (Students raised their hands
who wants to give an and write their examples in
example? If there’s none the board)
then I will names.”

(The teacher checks the

examples)

“Thank you so much.”

“The next type of sentence

structure is Compound
sentence. Again let’s have
first the example. Everyone (Students read the
read this sentences.” sentences)
1. He was hungry
2. He cooked dinner.

“In this two sentences if

you notice, this two has a
complete thought, both
sentences are independent
clause in the form of simple
sentence. So how can we make
it into compound sentence?
By what? By adding a comma
and a coordinating
conjunctions. Coordinating
conjunctions like what we
call FANBOYS. For, and, nor,
but, or, yet, so. Now let’s
fix this into compound
sentence.

He was hungry, so he cooked

dinner.”

“So compound sentence has at

least two independent
clauses and put together by
a coordinating conjunction.”

“For example:
She is rich, yet she is very
humble.

She is rich is our first

independent clause, yet is
the coordinating
conjunction, and the second
independent clause is she is
very humble.”

“Now, it’s your turn to give

an example of compound
sentence and underline the (Students give examples on
independent clauses and the board)
circle the coordinating
conjunction.”

“Job well done class.”

“Next is the Complex

sentence, class read this
sentences.” (Students read the
sentences)
1. Although the girl studied
hard.
2. She failed the exam.

“What have you noticed in

this sentences? The first
sentence is incomplete,
therefore it is a dependent
clause and the second
sentence is independent
clause because it has a
complete thought. Let’s put
the sentence together, we
can use comma.

Although the girl studied

hard, she failed the exam.”

“So Complex sentence

contains one independent
clause and at least one
dependent clauses that
starts with a subordinating
conjunction such as after,
although, as, because,
before, even though and many
more. Also it can start with
a relative pronoun which are
that, which, whom, who,
whose.

Example:

1. After he finish his

homework, Nick watched
cartoons.

After he finish his homework

is the dependent clause that
has the subordinate
conjunction after, and Nick
watched cartoons is the
independent clause.”

“Class who wants to give

example and write it in the
board, also state the (Students write their
dependent and independent examples in the board)
clause.”

“Thank you so much, we can

now proceed to the last type
of sentence according to
structure, which is the
Compound-complex sentence.”

“Read the examples class.”

(Students read the examples)
1. When I got home, nobody
was there, so I called
mom who was at work.
2. Elly didn’t come because
he was ill, so Mary was
not happy.

“Thank you, so what have you

noticed in the first (Students answer)
example? What is the “Nobody was there.”
independent clause in the
sentence?”

“The dependent clause?”

“When I got home
so I called mom who was at
work.”
“Very good class”

“For the second example.

What is the independent “Elly didn’t come”
clause in the sentence?”

“What about the dependent

clause?” “because he was ill.
so Mary was not happy.”

“Very good class. So in

compound-complex sentence it
consists one ore more
independent clauses and two
or more dependent clauses.”

“Another example:

He left in a hurry after he

got a phone call but he came
back 10 minutes later.

The independent clause is He

left in a hurry, while the
dependent clause is after he
got a phone call and but he
came back 10 minutes later.”

“Class give an example and

state the independent and
dependent clauses.” (Students write their
examples in the board”

“Thank you so much for your

participation.”

C. Generalization

(The teacher asking the

students)

“Class what are the two

clauses we encounter?” (Students answer)
“Independent and dependent
clause.”
“What is the difference
between the two clauses?” “Independent clause has a
complete thought and the
dependent clause is an
incomplete sentence.”

“Thank you, how about the

four types of sentence
according to structure? What “Simple, Compound, Complex,
is the 4 types? Compound-complex sentence.”

“Thank you, always remember

that simple sentence
consists of one independent
clause, compound sentence
has two or more independent
clause joined by a
coordinating conjunction and
a colon or semicolon, while
complex sentence contains at
least one independent clause
and one dependent clause
that joined by a
subordinating conjunction.
Last is the compound-complex
sentence which has at least
one or more independent
clauses and two or more
dependent clauses.”

“Any clarification about our

lesson class? If none then
we can now have your first
task.”
