ASEI Lesson Plan On English Language

Begin by inviting the class to discuss the topic of Preposition and Concord. Establish whether the students have an understanding of the position of a preposition in grammatical constructions/ sentences if students have an understanding of the word concord, singular subject, singular verb, and singular adjective, plural subject, plural verb, and plural adjective and if so, ask them to give an example with a sentence or fill in the gap with the most appropriate word or words given in the bracket. If not, provide an example from the student worksheet.
Teacher to encourage vibrant brainstorm of ideas and facilitate students’ participation

• I prefer rice _______ beans. (more, than, to, for)
• Who knocked _____ the Door? (on, at, in, to)
• John _______ rice weekly (eat, eats, eaten, ate, eating)
• Peter and Paul _______ every day (enjoy, enjoys, enjoyed, have enjoy, has enjoy)
• To treat Mary and Martha as criminals ______ unfair (are, is, was, were, have been)
• The panel _______ submitted _______ report (have/it, has/its, have/its, has/it, have/is)
• The panel _______ submitted _______ report (have/their, has/their, have/his, has/her, have/him)

Students respond to the teacher's question.

Revising the previous lesson

Students can explain the understanding of the word preposition and concord, singular subject, a singular verb, and singular adjective, plural subject, plural verb, and plural adjective.

The teacher gives the class a prompt;

Write a letter to your friend, identifying:
• your salutation?
• complimentary close?

Students may say

• Dear friend,
• Yours lovely,
  James.

Students are enthusiastic to speak up and give suggestions

The teacher goes through learners work and correct where necessary.

• Dear Peter,
• Your loving friend,
  Thomas.

• 'Dear friend' is not acceptable because you are supposed to write what you would have said if you were in physical contact with your friend.
• You always call your friend's name anytime you want to get his or her attention.
• Write the person's name so that your salutation will be true to life.
• Do not indent i.e leave a space because it is not a paragraph.
