Students practice recognizing and creating varied sentence structures.

4. Skills Work: Collaborative Story Building (20 minutes)

Objective: Use varied sentence structures in creative and collaborative

writing.

Activity: Group Collaborative Story

Divide the class into groups of 4-5.

Provide each group with a culturally relevant prompt:

Example: “A day at the market,” “A village festival,” “An unexpected storm.”

Instructions:

Each group writes a story by adding one sentence at a time.

Each sentence must follow a designated structure:

Student 1 writes a simple sentence.

Student 2 writes a compound sentence building on the first.

Student 3 writes a complex sentence adding more detail.

Student 4 writes a compound-complex sentence adding depth and

connections.

Example Collaborative Output:

Prompt: A storm approaches the village.

Simple: “The clouds darkened.”

Compound: “The clouds darkened, and the wind howled.”

Complex: “As the clouds darkened, the villagers ran for shelter.”

Compound-Complex: “As the clouds darkened, the villagers ran for shelter,
and the children cried for their parents.”

Sharing and Feedback:

Groups read their stories aloud.

Peers identify and comment on the sentence structures used.

5. Free Stage (5 minutes)

Objective: Encourage unrestricted and creative use of sentence structures.

Activity: Individual Creative Writing

Students individually write a short paragraph using a mix of sentence

structures.

Prompt: “Describe your dream adventure.”

Example Output:
“I dream of visiting Japan. The cherry blossoms bloom in spring, and the
streets are vibrant with life. When I walk through the gardens, I feel at peace.
Although I’ve never been there, I know it will be an unforgettable
experience."

Wrap-Up and Reflection (5 minutes)

Reflection Questions:

“How do sentence structures affect the flow of information in a text?”

“Which sentence structure did you find easiest/hardest to use?"

Homework: Write a 150-word reflection on "My Most Memorable Day,"

incorporating all four sentence structures.

Assessment

Monitor participation in the collaborative story activity.

Evaluate group stories and individual paragraphs for sentence variety and
coherence.

This lesson blends communicative language teaching with grammar and

creativity, helping students understand and apply sentence structures
effectively in collaborative and individual contexts.

Lesson Plan: Communicative Grammar Teaching Using Transition Devices

Grade Level: Junior High School (Grade 9-10)

Duration: 60 minutes

Topic: Transition Devices for Organizational Efficiency in Information Texts

Learning Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

Identify and classify transition devices based on their functions (addition,

contrast, cause-effect, sequence).
Use transition devices effectively in collaborative and individual
communication tasks.

Apply transition devices meaningfully in discussions, stories, and written

outputs to enhance coherence and organization.

Lesson Stages

1. Elicitation (10 minutes)

Objective: Activate prior knowledge and introduce transition devices.

Warm-up Activity:

Display two versions of a short paragraph:

Without Transitions: "The park was empty. It started to rain. We went home."

With Transitions: "The park was empty. Therefore, we decided to go home as

it started to rain."

Ask:

"What makes the second paragraph easier to understand?"

"What are the linking words
